Executive functions are necessary<\/strong> to achieve goals, big or small. For example: Let\u2019s say you work up a plan to complete a basic project such as clean out the car, or clear the clutter in an area of your home. To make that plan work for you, you must use these skills.<\/p>\n

\u2022 You get yourself to activate<\/strong> and start your project.
\u2022 You focus<\/strong> on the goal.
\u2022 You make every effort<\/strong> to sustain your attention.
\u2022 You keep your emotions<\/strong> under control.
\u2022 You use your\u00a0memory<\/strong>\u00a0to remember what\u2019s important
\u2022 You maintain your pace, your\u00a0action<\/strong>,<\/u>\u00a0to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n

These are the skills needed<\/strong> to complete one goal and we call the directed, intentional use of those skills Executive Function.<\/p>\n

Even if you have<\/strong> a fantastic memory, incredible pacing, and more, if your skills are not working together, it will be difficult to achieve your goal.<\/p>\n
