What is Executive Function?

Executive function is like your brain’s command center; it helps you plan, stay organized, self-monitor, and manage your time so that you can complete tasks and achieve goals. Think of it as a “mental manager” that helps you do the right things in the right order, encouraging optimal decision-making and solving problems when things don’t go as planned.

Without strong executive function skills, it’s tough to focus, stay on track, and get things done.
