Tips for these executive function issues:

Seeking Advice

Help me out here ladies. I’ve been having some issues recently, partly since I’ve moved house, with some aspects of executive functioning. Tips for how to manage are most welcome:

  1. I’ve missed a few appointments now or turned up at the wrong time because I’ve forgotten about a change in time. The things is I can’t make myself write down the new time. I have some issues with information on digital devices, Im not sure what it is but I just can’t use my phone for lists and appointments, for some reason my brain just can’t.

  2. my new house is much bigger and it’s a state. It needs a deep clean and though I know this, and I know all the small steps needed to make up the big step. E.g. first step in cleaning the bathroom is mopping the floor. But I just can’t do the bit between where I am now, and actually putting the mop on the floor.

  3. My office at home has minimal distraction, like it’s a white box. However, I still find myself getting frustrated and taking long breaks at work because of all the other things that need to be done when I’m working from home. Like washing something up or putting something away.

Any ideas of things that might help here? I feel much less overwhelmed when I am out of the house but that brings its own challenges…
