Does Poor Executive Function Cause Procrastination?
Making the best of what you have.
Executive function are a set of interconnected skills that allow you to organize your thoughts, make complex decisions, and plan. In fact, you used your executive functioning skills to decide to apply and attend graduate school. We all have them and we all have strengths and weaknesses within them. The question is, do weaknesses in executive function cause procrastination?
Not directly, but they sure don’t help. In this module you’ll learn how executive function can interact with unhelpful attitudes and beliefs and task characteristics to make you more or less likely to procrastinate.
Knowledge is power and this module will help you identify your executive functioning strengths and weaknesses to make the most of what you have and work around your limitations. Using this knowledge, you can approach tasks differently and play to your strengths.
While poor executive function skills may not directly cause procrastination, they are a vital component to incorporate into your productivity approach.
