September - Executive Function Round-Up
Everything from this month's workbooks, gathered for the moment you just need a quick reminder of what to try.
The guide, as designed. The same content is written out below.

Reminders and visual signals that catch attention before a task slips away.
e.g. a phone alarm labeled with the task, not just a time
Working alongside another person, in the same room or on a call, while you each do your own task.
e.g. start a video call and both work quietly, cameras on
Breaking one large, blurry task into pieces small enough to start without finding all your energy at once.
e.g. "clean the kitchen" becomes "clear the counter"
Removing decisions so you can just follow steps instead of re-deciding every time.
e.g. a packing list you reuse instead of rebuilding
Shaping your space so the easy choice is the right one.
e.g. shoes by the door on the nights you plan to run
Letting your support flex with today's capacity instead of staying fixed all month.
e.g. move a reminder somewhere louder on hard days
Copying the mechanism under someone else's system, not their exact format.
e.g. keep "weekly review," drop the app that came with it
Five minutes reviewing what worked and what to let go of, so next week starts from real data.
e.g. circle one energy level per day, Monday through Sunday
Acting in a small enough way that it doesn't require motivation first - the feeling follows the action.
e.g. open the document and read only the first line
Pick whichever skill matches today's barrier. You don't need all nine at once - that was never the point.
