Ability to organize information in a way that enables a individual to achieve a future goal. Included skills are planning, organization, time management, working memory, emotional regulation, self-monitoring, and the ability to inhibit one’s impulses. This is one of the key deficits for individual with ADHD. An example: the skills needed to write a research paper may involve breaking the assignment down into smaller chunks, doing it over time. The individual must be able to do the research, figure out what information is important, keep track of notes, put notes into an outline, and then write an organized paper. Each step can present difficulties.
