Executive Functioning Issues

Luftmentsch

Does anyone have any tips for struggling with executive functioning issues?  At work I often have to enter data on multiple databases or spreadsheets at the same time and I often end up forgetting to enter some data on one or other of these.  I've tried writing notes for myself and double-checking everything and I still struggle with it.  I'm just not good at having to do multiple things at once and forget things.  So far my boss has been OK with it (I've been in the job for about fifteen months), but I worry he'll expect me to improve sooner or later.  If anyone has any advice, I would be grateful.

  • I don’t know what your job is so maybe this is not applicable but, have you tried checklists?

    For example if data type A needs to be entered in DBs 1,3 and 5, and data type B in 4,5 and 6, maybe make checklists for each type of data, and once you identify which type of data it is, go methodically through the checklist until you finish and move on to the next.
