Understanding Executive Function

• Executive function refers to key cognitive skills (working memory, planning, organisation, task initiation, flexible thinking, and self-control) that support everyday life.

• When these skills are underdeveloped, individuals may struggle with time management, productivity, emotional regulation, academic performance, and workplace success.

• These challenges are often misunderstood as low motivation or lack of discipline, when in reality they are rooted in cognitive processes that can be strengthened with targeted strategies and support.

How Executive Function Develops

• Executive function skills develop gradually from early childhood into the mid-20s.

• Many people only recognise these difficulties later in life, especially in high-pressure corporate or academic settings, where expectations escalate.

• This delay is often due to the late maturation of the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for executive function.
