- Dr. Judy Gooch, a rehabilitation doctor talks about treating executive functioning difficulties. She gives tips for improving planning. People with a brain injury can have executive functioning difficulties. In another Utah Neuro Rehabilitation RUclips video, Dr. Gooch talks about what is executive functioning.
I have the worst executive functioning skills. I went to med school not once, not twice, but 3 times and didn't finish. I can't hold a job. I lose interest very easily. So distracted. It is quite debilitating. If I don't write a "to do list" I get zero done in a day. The only problem is that when I write a list I end up writing different lists on different pieces of paper and notebooks so everything is everywhere. zero organization. hot mess.
growing up always made me feel bad how everyone else seemed so normal
Best vid on the subject so far.
I love and appreciate your videos very much; especially how you get right down to business without a lot of fanfare and introduction. I will say this: for my students and myself (I am an academic therapist), a planner is almost useless. It shouldn't be...but the amount of times that we have it on hand, in the backpack, think to write in it, or think to look in it, are very few. What is super helpful is a wall calendar in a central location (like a dining room) at home. At dinner, or when you first get home from work/school, write as much down on it as you can. You can read ahead, and even look back. I realize that it means that you won't have it when you need it and you are out of the house? But these days, you can easily take a picture of it with your phone, if you want to carry it with you. A daily handheld planner is a million times better in many ways...but utterly useless if you never think to use it. Many of us with ADD or other EF related disorders don't!
This series seems great. I didn’t think of practicing the skills and starting simple with them to get better as an option. Going to check out the rest.
Will you please do more of these simple videos! This was so helpful! I am working among the extremely poor (dealing with toxic stress) overseas and am researching ways to help these students in the classroom.
This is really helpful and well presented. Thank you.
Hey look, I forgot to write it in my planner again. Or maybe I just couldn’t work up the will to initiate that action.
Thank you!
great work
Well done, simple to do and remember, thank you : )!

What about people with ADHD? It’s not just people with brain injuries.
I have an IQ of 144 but my executive function is only at the third percentile. I was not able to get much out of this video. How can a person such as I make a daily schedule?
