NEW YEAR, NEW EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING SKILLS.
Taking breaks is crucial for cognitive rejuvenation, stress relief, creativity, focus, physical health, memory consolidation, procrastination prevention, social interaction, and sustained long-term productivity. Research shows that learning is promoted by periods of rest in between practice times so that a skill can be consolidated while awake.
At Liddane, we support our students taking breaks when learning, especially in light of the last year, when many have had to navigate increased school -life balance issues with coming out of the more isolated pandemic years. In fact, taking breaks is part of the work we do with students and adults of all ages gaining better executive functioing skills.
Executive functions are the skills that help us plan, organize, solve problems, and manage time. We all have challenges with executive functions sometimes, but for some students, these challenges can interfere with their academic, social, and personal goals. That's why we offer executive function coaching to help students improve their executive skills and achieve more.
Adults can also benefit from executive function coaching. Whether you are a college student, a professional, an adult with ADHD, or a lifelong learner, our executive function experts can help you set and stick to your goals. If you are working with one of our tutors on an advanced subject, you can also get help with planning and accountability. Our tutors and coaches can help you make the most of your study time and reach your full potential.
Executive function coaching is not just a study skills class. It is a personalized learning plan that you co-create with your tutor or coach based on your needs and goals. You will learn how to use your strengths, develop a growth mindset, and apply your skills to different situations. You will also build a practical and personal toolkit that will help you become a more independent and confident learner. The goal is not only to do well in school, but to develop lifelong habits and strategies for success. Reach out to learn more.
