Community Event - NO COST
It can be frustrating to know what you need to do and still struggle to get started, stay focused, remember the details, or follow through.
When traditional productivity advice does not seem to work, it is easy to assume you just need to try harder.
This practical class explores how attention, motivation, working memory, task initiation, and executive functioning affect the way you get things done.
You will learn ways to reduce friction, make tasks easier to start, create more useful supports, and build routines that work with the way your brain actually functions.
The goal is not to force yourself into a system that does not fit. It is to understand where you tend to get stuck and develop practical strategies that make everyday tasks feel more manageable.
You'll learn to
• Recognize common executive-function challenges that can affect getting started, staying focused, and following through
• Identify where tasks tend to break down or become overwhelming
• Reduce the number of steps, decisions, and barriers that make it harder to begin
• Use external supports for memory, planning, and organization
• Make tasks easier to return to after interruptions
• Build routines and systems that are realistic enough to use
• Identify strategies that fit your own patterns, needs, and daily life
