      <image:title>Blog - Navigating Working Memory: Executive Functioning Session #3 Recap - Understanding Working Memory Working memory can be likened to a mental workspace, often compared to a sticky note or a whiteboard, that holds a limited amount of information for use in active tasks. Its average capacity is about seven items—an aspect that can be easily overwhelmed in stressful or high-demand situations.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stress and Working Memory The relationship between stress and working memory is particularly pronounced. Any form of stress can increase cognitive overload, making working memory even more limited. This creates a cyclical issue where limited working memory can exacerbate everyday stress, leading to potential burnout. For those already experiencing challenges with executive function, these issues can compound, leading to heightened anxiety, over-functioning, or rigid routines.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Initiating Tasks with Intention: Session #2 Recap - The Interest-Based Nervous System Derived from Dr. Megan Neff's work, the concept of an "interest-based nervous system" contrasts traditional motivation theories. Instead of relying solely on importance and consequences, people are often more driven by: Passion and Interest Novelty Community and Challenge Urgency Understanding what intrinsically motivates you can help tailor supportive strategies, making daunting tasks more approachable and engaging.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Welcome to the Executive Function Group: Session #1 Recap - 1. Capacity Awareness: Energy Conservation is a formal term that involves bringing more awareness and intention to how we use our energy. Recognizing one's capacity and the variability throughout the day can foster better decision-making. Many of us try to cram our todo list into our day, often when we have too few hours and too little energy to work with. When planning your day, try starting with capacity first and then asking what demands can actually fit. Consider conducting a personal capacity check-in as part of your planning or reflection practices. Choose prompts that are meaningful to you and learn more about energy conservation for neurodivergent folks here.  *Image from: Spoon Theory for Autism and ADHD | Neurodivergent Insights</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Shame-Free Organization: Session #6 Recap - This article will provide highlights from our session on organization, the 6th session in our 9-week executive functioning skill-building group series. This group is for anyone struggling to engage in daily tasks in a sustainable and satisfying way. It’s a supportive space to show up as you are. For example, participants are encouraged to choose to have their cameras on or off, use chat or microphone, share freely or sit back and listen supportively. Our guiding principle is “no shame and no pressure.” This group is neurodiversity-affirming and supportive of people managing burnout, chronic conditions, or other factors that affect their capacity.
