About this episode
Resources say: "You can find plenty of self-tests to help evaluate your executive function skills online, but another route to consider involves asking yourself a few key questions:
- Do I have trouble processing and remembering things I learn?
- Is it tough for me to switch from one task to another?
- Do I have difficulty when plans change abruptly, especially if they disrupt my regular routine?
- Do I find focusing and paying attention challenging?
- Can I get started on things easily, or do I tend to delay tasks or forget about them?
- Does a habit of misplacing or forgetting things affect my relationships and daily life?
- Do I have trouble organizing my time, work, or office space?
Some honest exploration of your answers can help you pinpoint areas worth bringing up with a mental health professional, who can offer more guidance on steps to get treatment and support."
