Life Hacks | Self-Improvement | Relatab What are Executive Functions Skills?
(1)
Executive Functions are the skills that we use to set a goal, make a plan, and then do the steps needed to complete the plan and meet the goal. There are three main areas of executive functions:
- Working Memory: The executive functions skill of holding on to information and putting it to its correct use. Executing the sequence of looking up the telephone number for pizza delivery, finding your
phone, making the call and ordering pizza is an example of working memory.
- Cognitive Flexibility: The executive functions skill of looking at things in more than one way. If you are preparing a presentation and decide that graphs would be more effective than pie charts, you are using cognitive flexibility.
- Inhibitory Control: The executive functions skill of staying focused on a task and ignoring distractions. In today’s virtual learning environment, it could be described as resisting Instagram when you are taking lecture notes. Master Your Executive Functions Skills for the Age of Virtual Learning
Executive functions skills can be critical in today’s virtual learning environment. As our world grows in advancement, the distractions grow at an equal, sometimes, greater pace. With or without a specific executive functions disorder, training executive functions skills is more important now than ever. Executive functions skills in the brain are like command operations in a computer. Every individual has a limited capacity for executive function skills before they get exhausted. In a virtual learning world, there is an ever increasing number of tabs to keep track. Training executive functions skills will ensure that the brain is running at optimal performance!

Do you get enough vitamin D everyday? The sun actually helps our bodies know when it is time to be awake and when it is time to sleep. It sort of balances our inner clock. If you’re having a hard time getting your sleep schedule on track and it’s affecting your school or work life, try getting some sunshine! Check out our full YouTube video “Study Tip 30”! https://efskillsforlife.com/3Jp6GVr
Finding it hard to stay productive? Try focusing on one thing at a time. I know it sounds cliche, but it can really work. But, you have to be laser focused-eye on the prize. Limit all distractions around you. Maybe turn your phone on silent or off / put it in a drawer, put some headphones on, and put anything else away that may cause you to go off track. You can even set a timer to help you just focus on one thing. Check out the full video! https://efskillsforlife.com/3YDgUpw
Eat a good lunch and find yourself nodding off in class, trying to stay awake? This causes our body to release a hormone signaling your brain it’s time to sleep. Try looking up for 10-15 seconds when this happens, and your brain will actually release hormones telling your eyelids to stay open and alert! Check out our full YouTube video “Study Tip 29”! https://efskillsforlife.com/3J1qdtB
Have you ever thought of life as a JRPG? (For nongamers, a JRPG is a Japanese influenced or style video game.) Well, in gaming we often find ourselves constantly hitting the “A” button; to level up. It may be repetitive and boring, but all in all it all counts as preparation for the next adventure. Check out the full video! https://efskillsforlife.com/3kZlTmE

Feeling stressed? Try massaging and stretching out your muscles for 5-20 minutes daily. Rollers are great for this.

You know what’s even better than putting on warm clothes when you’re getting ready in the morning? It’s putting on warm clothes after taking a cold shower! No-seriously! There are tons of studies out there that list the benefits to taking cold showers, but the reason I do it is because it really helps to wake me up and give me an energy boost to start my day. I no longer drink and depend on coffee, so I really like this new habit. Try it for yourself and check out our full YouTube video! https://efskillsforlife.com/3y0JIgO
How often do you ask your TAs and Professors for help? Well, you should ask more! Make sure you prepare for staying after class and asking for help. Review your notes, create a study plan, a cheat sheet with the main points and run it through at office hours. Get feedback to make sure you are on the right track. Studying new material is already hard enough, take the second guessing out of the equation. And look if you don't have any questions, it's okay because someone that is also at office hours will! Check out our YouTube video! https://efskillsforlife.com/3Z2OIgM
Do you know how to track your progress to monitor your goals? Try setting well-defined weekly goals so you really narrow it down to what you want to achieve. For example, instead of saying “work on essay” you can set goals like “write your thesis statement” and “pick 3 sources”. Be sure you check your progress so you have a visual of your productivity. Check out the full video to find out how to practice this yourself! https://efskillsforlife.com/3IPi0db
What happens when tools to keep us on track fail? Do we beat ourselves up? No! Remember: you are human and it is important to not be so hard on yourself! Listen to what your mind, heart, and body need. You may need to sleep in, take the day off, or give yourself more time to complete a task and that’s okay. Check out our YouTube video! https://efskillsforlife.com/3Y2VvWE
