Now we have a word for that – Executive Dysfunction. When we talk about executive function we mean a series of steps your brain takes to get something done.
Things like task initiation – being able to start a task without being asked. Organization – having everything you need to do a task. Time management – knowing how much time a task will take. Working memory – remembering all of the elements of what you’re supposed to do.
