Examples of Executive Functioning Skills in Action

Enjoy Day 2 of my audio course "⁠Understanding Your Executive Functioning Skills⁠". The best way to understand executive functioning skills is by looking at real-life examples of how these skills work and how they help us manage every area of our minds and lives. In this session, we will look at real-life situations where these skills are in action. ------- Executive functioning skills allow you to consciously control your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions in order to achieve goals and manage your life.  These skills allow you to manage your working memory so that you can execute plans, goals, and specific steps needed to reach your goal. As well, this helps you organize the order in which you complete activities and use your time, identify what you think about, and help you self-regulate your feelings and emotions. This course will help you become aware of your relationship with these skills, how your brain works, and find strategies to complement them.   The executive functioning skills covered in this course are: Working Memory, Adaptable Thinking, Metacognition, Emotional Control, Response Inhibition, Impulse Control, Emotional Self-Regulation, Task Initiation, Focus, Attention Control, Time Management, Task Completion, Organization, Planning, Sequencing, Prioritizing, and Transitioning.   This is a practical course. The main intention of this course is to help you notice your skills one by one, observe how they work in your day-to-day life, and learn strategies to complement them in a way that feels good to you and to your brain.
