What Is Executive Functioning?

Executive functioning is a set of cognitive skills essential for planning, organizing, managing time, regulating emotions, and completing tasks. When these skills lag, life’s demands can feel more difficult than they need to be, and these struggles look different depending on your stage of life.

How Executive Functioning Challenges Look Across Ages

Children


May have trouble sitting still, following multi-step directions, organizing belongings, or shifting between activities. You might notice forgetfulness (like leaving homework behind) or impulsivity, with emotional meltdowns or trouble staying focused.

Adolescents

With growing independence, challenges often include planning for complex school assignments, prioritizing tasks, managing social pressures, or adapting to change. Procrastination, inconsistent performance, and heightened emotional reactions can surface during these years.

Adults

Struggles often show up as difficulty managing competing personal and work responsibilities, meeting deadlines, staying organized in busy environments, and juggling many roles. Chronic procrastination, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty with long-term planning or emotional self-regulation are common experiences.

These difficulties can impact:

    •    School performance

    •    Workplace productivity

    •    Managing routines and transitions

    •    Emotional wellbeing

    •    Social relationships

    •    Self-esteem
