Mastering Time with Calendars Across the Lifespan
Time management is a universal struggle, but it can be especially challenging for individuals with executive function difficulties. In this newsletter, we'll explore the crucial connection between executive functions and calendar use, offering valuable insights and strategies for educators, coaches, and therapists.
The Executive Function - Time Management Link
Executive functions, such as working memory, inhibition control, and cognitive flexibility, are the brain's command center for planning, organizing, and managing time. Weaknesses in these areas can lead to:
Difficulty estimating task duration
Problems with prioritization
Struggles with planning and organization
Challenges meeting deadlines
Trouble breaking down large tasks
Calendars are powerful tools for supporting executive function development and improving time management skills.
