In this episode of the Executive Function Brain Trainer podcast, host Erica Warren welcomes back Kim Sorise for an insightful discussion on executive functioning resets at the start of new semesters. They emphasize the importance of reflecting on the prior semester to identify what worked and what didn’t, and how this reflection fosters resilience and cognitive flexibility in students. The conversation covers practical strategies like organizing lockers, desks, and using digital tools such as Google Calendar and Keep for better management. They also delve into study techniques, leveraging AI tools, maintaining productive routines, and the significance of adding playtime and downtime in busy schedules. The episode is packed with valuable tips for students to start the new semester on the right foot.
