NeuroNexus Navigator – Lesson 4

MadlySane NeuroNexus Course: Lesson 4: Executive Function & Task Management.

Welcome back, Navigator. You’ve mapped attention and working memory—now it’s time to explore executive function: the “CEO” of your brain that handles starting tasks, planning, self-control, and flexibility.

  • Task initiation: overcoming inertia.
  • Planning & organization: breaking it into parts.
  • Inhibition: pausing before impulses.
  • Cognitive flexibility: adapting on the fly.

Why It Matters

Every day, you need to start projects, juggle deadlines, resist distractions, and pivot plans. Those are all executive functions in action. When this system falters, tasks stall, chaos ensues, and you feel frustrated.

We’ll first measure where your strengths and gaps lie—then you’ll learn concrete scaffolds to support each domain.

Executive Function Self-Assessment

1. I start tasks promptly, even if they feel daunting.

2. I break complex projects into a clear sequence of steps.

3. I can pause and think before reacting or interrupting.

4. I shift plans easily when things don’t go as expected.

Lesson Complete!

Well done! You’ve mapped your executive function profile. Use planners, alarms, routines, and pause-and-plan techniques to shore up any gaps.

Next up—Lesson 5: Sensory Strategies & Environment Design. You’ll learn to craft spaces that calm or energize your brain’s wiring.
