Executive Functions Support/Therapy Program

Executive functions are the mental processes that allow us to plan, prioritize, manage emotions, initiate tasks, and maintain focus. When they’re working well, life feels manageable. When they’re impaired—due to ADHD, stress, trauma, neurodivergence, or life chaos—things pile up fast, and you may find yourself thinking:

“I know what to do, I just don’t do it.”
“Why can’t I start things until it’s a crisis?”
“I overthink everything but can’t finish anything.”
“I’m always behind, scattered, or overwhelmed.”

This program helps you build practical systems and internal supports to strengthen executive functions—not through willpower, but through structure, self-compassion, and experimentation.

Weeks 1–2: Understanding Executive Functioning

Goals: Build awareness without shame.
Learn what executive functions are (and aren’t).
Explore how ADHD, trauma, burnout, or high stress affect planning, focus, and memory.
Identify your biggest EF challenges: time blindness, task initiation, working memory, etc.
Track when/where executive function breakdowns tend to happen.
Use compassion—not criticism—as the foundation of change.

Weeks 3–4: Task Initiation & Motivation

Goals: Learn how to start when you’re stuck.
Break down the “activation gap” between knowing and doing.
Practice microtasking: turning huge tasks into ridiculously small, doable steps.
Explore body-based starts: "Do it with your hands, not your head."
Use external cues: timers, accountability, visual prompts.
Begin creating a “menu of starters” that work for your nervous system.

Weeks 5–6: Planning & Prioritization

Goals: Replace overwhelm with structure.
Learn basic weekly planning using visual tools (planners, Notion, whiteboards).
Practice the “next right step” method instead of full project mapping.
Use prioritization tools (e.g., Eisenhower matrix, MITs—Most Important Tasks).
Set limits on perfectionism, over-scheduling, and energy overestimation.
Explore “decision fatigue” and use routines to reduce mental load

Weeks 7–8: Time Management & Time Awareness

Goals: Reconnect with time as a lived experience.
Learn about time blindness and how it distorts urgency and pacing.
Use external tools: timers, calendars, reminders, and time anchoring.
Practice time estimation (“how long will this actually take?”).
Develop start-up and wind-down routines to protect task flow.
Address lateness, deadline panic, and the anxiety that fuels procrastination.

Weeks 9–10: Emotional Regulation & Task Resilience

Goals: Handle emotional derailment and task-related anxiety.
Identify emotional blocks: fear of failure, perfectionism, shame triggers.
Use DBT & ACT tools to stay with discomfort without quitting.
Explore strategies for task-switching, frustration tolerance, and recovery after interruptions.
Practice “graceful reentry” after falling off track (vs. all-or-nothing collapse).
Build rituals for celebration and completion.

Weeks 11–12: Integration & Personalized EF System

Goals: Build your long-term executive function toolkit.
Design your own self-leadership system using tools that work for your brain.
Reflect on which systems helped and which need revising.
Identify high-risk scenarios for backsliding and develop self-correction cues.
End with a self-trust statement: “Even when I get off track, I know how to return.

Note: This is a general roadmap. We'll tailor the pacing and methods based on your unique story and goals:

Executive function for students or professionals
EF recovery after burnout or trauma
ADHD-specific strategies (including rejection sensitivity & dopamine strategies)
Balancing multiple roles (e.g., parent, caregiver, freelancer)
Digital planning vs. analog systems
