sigh, yes, I read a great description the other day of executive function and was just gutted at how well it describes by executive DISfunction :(
I cannot bring myself to do most of the things that need to be done in my house, and spend so many hours wasting time on the couch. A couple months ago, I decided to turn the tables a bit…I realized that even if I was stuck on the couch for whatever reason, I could still be productive in many ways. So, I decided to focus on the good things I could do from my couch (host zoom meetings for my support group, manage a couple facebook groups, do volunteer work for my choir…) and so I feel better about my crappy executive function…
