  • Executive Function (EF) is a term for a set of cognitive skills that help you manage your behavior and achieve goals. These skills include things like:

    • Planning and organizing: Making a plan to reach a goal and figuring out the steps you need to take.

    • Flexible thinking: Adjusting to new situations or changing your approach when something isn’t working.

    • Self-control: Managing impulses, emotions, and behaviors so you can stay focused and act appropriately.

    Basically, executive function is like the brain’s “management system.” It’s what allows you to think ahead, focus, solve problems, and regulate emotions — all the things that help you get things done efficiently and effectively.

    When people have trouble with executive function, they might struggle with things like starting tasks, keeping track of time, remembering what they were supposed to do, or staying calm under pressure.
