Mental Wellness and Executive Functioning of the Brain

Description

Organization involves how we gather stimuli in our environment to complete tasks quickly and more effectively. It’s how we arrange our environment and provide order and structure to the items and activities around us. Organization skills are often closely tied to our ability to plan and prioritize—two other necessary executive functioning skills(Life Skills Advocate, 2023).

What is Executive Functioning? Executive Functioning refers to brain processes that help us to complete tasks, stay organized and attentive, plan ahead, and regulate our emotions.

Planning is developing a well-thought-out strategy before starting a task. Think of it like making a game plan for attempting something. We use skills for planning when we decide which materials to bring before leaving or when we use a calendar to list out important upcoming dates. Planning pays off! When we plan well, we save ourselves valuable time and effort because we get it right the first time (The Pathway to Success, 2023).
