大學準備之旅:勞倫·克爾·赫拉利博士的見解

在MindShift Power播客的一期節目中,我們有幸與來自德克薩斯州的執行功能教練兼社區大學教授Lauran Kerr-Heraly博士探討了大學申請準備的實用技巧。本集節目由活力四射的Fatima Bey主持,深入探討如何克服拖延症、理解執行功能技能以及社區大學的優勢。


大學準備中最重要的問題

克爾-赫拉利博士指出,拖延症是學生進入大學後面臨的首要問題。 「拖延症在高中可能對他們有幫助,但在大學裡就沒用了,」她解釋道。拖延任務很快就會導致進度落後,很難趕上進度。


情緒意識

克爾-赫拉利醫師強調情緒意識在克服拖延症中的重要性。了解拖延的原因可以幫助我們改變處理方式。 「如果這件事不必完美,那我就不必拖到最後一刻,」她分享了自己的親身經歷。情緒意識有助於改善與同學、教授和朋友的關係。


溝通的重要性

有效的溝通對於大學成功至關重要。 Kerr-Heraly博士建議學生儘早尋求協助,並與教授保持尊重的溝通。 「你需要練習以建設性的方式尋求幫助,」她建議。清晰具體的溝通能帶來有成效的成果。


社區大學的優勢

Kerr-Heraly博士強調了社區大學的優勢,包括小班制、個人化關注和社交機會。 「無論在哪裡,卓越都是卓越,」她斷言。社區大學提供了一個支持性的環境,提供全方位的住宿、餐飲和心理健康支援服務。


克服執行功能的挑戰

克爾-赫拉利博士的輔導公司Altering Course專注於培養執行功能技能,這些技能對於大學成功至關重要。這些技能包括時間管理、規劃和情緒調節。 「找一位能幫助你提升執行功能技能的導師,」她建議高中畢業生。

理解和提高這些技能可以提高學業成績和整體幸福感。


最後的想法

Lauran Kerr-Heraly 博士的見解提醒我們,大學準備不僅限於學術知識。克服拖延症、理解情緒意識、培養執行能力對於成功至關重要。無論是就讀社區大學還是四年制大學,找到合適的支持和資源都會帶來巨大的改變。

    Welcome to Mindshift Power podcast, a show for teenagers and the adults who work with them, where we have raw and honest conversations. I'm your host, Fatima Bey, the mind shifter. And welcome. Today, we're gonna talk about college prep. And we have with us today, our guest today is doctor Lauren Kerhulley.


    Kerhulley. You got it. She's an executive function coach and a community college professor out of Texas. She is also the founder and CEO of Altering Course. How are you doing today?


    Doing great. Thanks for having me on the show. And thank you for coming. Let's dive right into it. What do you see as the top two issues people have coming into college?


    Well, number one is procrastination. And the students tell me that. Their parents tell me that. I see it. It's definitely procrastination.


    And the root of it might vary, but it's putting things off till the last minute. I always say if I had a dime for every student who said I'm bad at time management, I'd be rich. So the putting things off is really problematic. And sometimes it's the biggest thing that they have to change about their approach to work, because procrastination might have served them in high school, but it won't serve them in college. And they'll get behind quickly, and sometimes they'll get behind to the point that they, you know, can't catch up.


    所以拖延症是第一位的。好的。這絕對是真的,不僅在大學,在生活中也是如此。你認為第二位是什麼?我想實際上我會把它放在下面,所以我先定義執行功能,基本上它是大腦的功能,是一組幫助你完成任務的技能。


    And so there's several skills that fall under that. It's just a way of kind of understanding, why we do things and why we struggle with certain things. But one of those things is actually, emotional intelligence or emotional awareness. And it might seem kind of odd for me to talk about that in the context of school success, but it's really significant. So when students come in and they're not aware of why they do certain things, I'll take procrastination for an example.


    You know, I am not exempt from any of the things that I'm talking about. Right? And I remember very specifically back in college, which was a little while ago so far back that I didn't have a computer in my dorm room, and I had to go to the actual computer lab where there were computers. Right? And it was 2AM, and I had procrastinated on a paper.


    And they kicked me out, and I wasn't finished. And I was like, no. Just let me print, and, it was due the next day at 8AM or whatever. So as I was being kicked out of the computer lab at 2AM, I thought, okay. Something's gotta change.


    I can't keep putting things off. But what I realized in the process of that particular instance is that I put things off because I want them to be perfect. And if I put them off and they're not perfect, then I have an excuse for why they're not perfect. So that was the emotional awareness that I came to was that, oh, if this doesn't have to be perfect, then I don't have to put it off to the last minute. And once I became aware of the reason, I was able to backtrack and start solving the problem.


    所以我認為缺乏情感意識,或情緒意識的缺陷,是我常遇到的問題,因為它能幫助你理解自己做事的原因,幫助你與其他同學、教授、朋友等等建立良好的關係。這是第二個問題。我認為這是一個非常有力的論斷,我喜歡這種關於情感意識的論點。我只想指出,這不僅適用於大學,也適用於整個生活。讓我們先來和成年人聊聊。


    It might be why you keep having the same issues on your job because there's there's a reason why you're exhibiting certain behaviors, and maybe you don't realize the root. So maybe it's time to find out what that root is so you can rip it out and be better. You know? Definitely. And if you don't understand the roots, the behavior won't change.


    Oh my god. Will it not? Will it not? And and and I think that you're so right what you said, what got you through high school. Some of that will not get you through college because some of them let you slide.


    You know? Sometimes they allowed excuses. In college, they don't care about your excuses. It's done or not. Period.


    And Right. You know, a lot of a lot of life is that way. College is supposed to prepare you for the work world, you know, or whatever career you're going into. Yeah. And when when I talk to my students about procrastination and I talk to them about why deadlines are important, I say, this is not just, like, arbitrary for my own good.


    You can't just turn everything into the end of the semester because then I would have a pile of grading to do. But, also, things build on each other. Your skill sets build on each other. The deadlines matter. And if in the real world, if I emailed my boss and said, listen.


    My kid is sick. I know grades were due at ten. Can I turn them in at two? My boss would say, sure. Right?


    但如果我消失兩週,永遠不交成績,我就會失去工作。對吧?所以我想讓他們明白,如果溝通順暢,就能做到寬容,但仍需要準時完成任務,因為你會影響別人,也會影響你自己的健康。如果你拖延,你做的好玩的事情就會少。你會覺得自己對事情理解得不太透徹,因為有時學生會說,嗯,你知道,在高中,我從年初就開始晚交作業了。


    我說,嗯,我們已經學會了。我們已經在這項技能上有所累積。我們正在一步步搭建框架。所以,設定截止日期不只是為了截止日期,而是為了你自己的健康,是為了讓你為現實世界做好準備。我覺得你說到了關鍵點,我真的想確保人們能夠聽到,並為現實世界做好準備。


    There are parts of college just like parts of high school that are really annoying. You gotta meet deadlines. You gotta do things you don't feel like doing. But the rest of life is like that too. And if you're not gonna handle it in college, then you're gonna end up not handling it in the real world, in your work world, and that will end up affecting your pocketbook, y'all.


    It affects your pocketbook. Right. At the end of the day, because that's what some of them it affects more things, but some of them don't hear anything until they hear dollar signs. It can affect your pocketbook because you will underperform. Well, and you're paying for college or somebody's paying for college, which means Right.


    That is affected as well. If you don't pass your classes, that's it. And, you know, I always tell my students one of the biggest mistakes you can make is waiting too late to ask for help. As I say, it might be a little bit awkward on week two of a class to go to your professor and say, I'm struggling with this, or I need help with time management, or maybe it's not your professor. Maybe it's a tutor.


    Maybe it's someone in the library, even a classmate. Maybe it's a little awkward, but you do it, and it's fine. It doesn't cost you anything at that point. But if you go to the professor at the end of the semester, you're three quarters of the way through, and you say, oh, you know, I'm really behind. I don't know what to do.


    Then there's nothing that can be done generally. So you need to practice asking for help in a constructive way. And I've got some videos on my YouTube about this, and one of them is about how to email your professor, like, how to how to communicate in a way that's productive because you wanna be specific and clear and state these are the things that I've tried, but this is what I need, and do so in a way that's respectful, then that'll get you places. And that is great practice for the workplace. You're a % right.


    你說得對。你現在是社區大學的教授了。我也是。為什麼不呢?我們今天討論的不僅僅是社區大學。


    但既然您是社區大學的教授,我確實想深入探討社區大學的世界。有時,人們在談到社區大學時會有一些想法,認為它不如四年制大學,或比四年制大學差等等。我想談談這個問題。為什麼您認為社區大學對許多人來說是個不錯的選擇?嗯,我認為,無論它的名字多麼花哨,無論怎樣,優秀都是優秀的。


    我在社區大學讀了兩年,後來我拿到了博士學位,所以,你知道,這對我來說真的很有成就。我熱愛學生時代。所以我實際上教過高中、國中、大學,但我認為社區大學才是我真正的使命,也是我最喜歡的教學場所。


    Some of the advantages of community college that you might not consider are the class size. There's a ratio that's a lot smaller than in a four year university. So you've got the opportunity to get the hands on help that you need and also to, you know, to get to know the professor better. There's also because of the community focus of a community college. It's in the name.


    Right? Lots of networking opportunities. So if if a student comes to me or goes to the career center or goes to their adviser and says, I'm interested in doing this, then they can immediately think of someone who could use, you know, who can mentor you, who could connect you with, practice in that area, etcetera. And because community colleges are open enrollment, sometimes they can be a second chance for people. So if you've struggled a bit in high school, maybe your grades aren't where they wanted to be, or maybe there's a particular skill that you need to to practice a little bit more before you go on to that four year college, then it's a great place to do that as well.


    話雖如此,這不一定是第二次機會。這可能是第一次機會,但這是一個機會均等的環境,在四年制大學裡你不一定能找到。我們稱之為隱性課程,你知道,當你上大學時,他們期望你能夠使用某些軟體或知道如何瀏覽某些資源,但可能不會有實際的幫助來指導你如何取得這些資源。而在社區大學,我發現這種情況總是存在的。例如,我的課程裡就有一位嵌入式圖書館員。


    So when I say write a research paper, it's not just good luck. See you later. It's let me introduce you to the librarian who's going to take you through the databases and, take you on a tour of all these things so you can find and analyze quality sources. But here's how you do it. So I think there's a lot of advantages, and it's cheaper, by the way.


    我正要說,最重要的是「叮叮叮」的美元符號。它真的非常非常非常便宜。我覺得對於那些想要獲得四年制學位,或者至少我一直以來的個人立場是,想要獲得四年制學位,或者想要讀研究生的人來說,這是一個不錯的選擇。為什麼要在頭幾年花掉比實際上需要更多的錢?這是我一直以來的想法,而且你知道,我已經這樣做了一段時間,因為我看到很多人為了上大學而負債累累,我認為大多數情況下這完全沒有必要。


    我認為社區大學就是其中一種方式。我同意。社區大學有很多全方位服務。我們有一些學生住房和食物都不穩定,我幾乎可以立即在大學為他們聯繫相關服務。所以,你知道,有時人們需要在家照顧孩子。


    They've got their, you know, they're working part time or even full time and trying to go to school at the same time. But even then, there can be financial stress. So even if the tuition is paid for, they might be struggling in other parts of their life to you know, they might be one flat tire away from dropping out. So we do have a lot of wrap around services to help, provide food, connect them with community services, again, mental health services, etcetera. I I also wanna make note, and I know that you will agree with this statement.


    When it comes to those who are looking for four year degrees or graduate school of whatever kind, At the end of the day, when you're going to get a job or you're going to start your career, no one cares where you went the first two years, honestly. They care about, at the end of the day, did you learn stuff and get that piece of paper? You know? Are you able to do what your piece of paper says you can do? They don't really care where you went the first couple years.


    所以,對於那些……我……我指的是那些認為「哦,我必須上常春藤盟校,這樣我才能擁有這些地位」的人。如果你從常春藤盟校畢業,拿到了任何專業的學士學位,那麼無論你前兩年在哪裡學習,你都是從那裡畢業的。所以我完全同意。我的意思是,如果你負擔不起四年制大學的學費,而且不背負一百萬美元的債務,那真是太棒了。


    But I I'm a strong believer in that. There are ways around it, and I think community college is one of those ways. That's just my little preacher on there. No. I totally agree.


    我不在社區大學工作。嗯,有很多方法可以融入其中。其中之一,我的意思是,我們大學剛剛舉辦了一個大型動漫活動。那是我們最大的社團,也是動漫社團。這真的很有趣,因為有些人可能覺得自己不適合科學社、商業社之類的社團,但他們在這個小地方找到了歸屬感。


    我們有很多文化活動。各種各樣的活動都有,社區大學通常更擅長找到讓家庭參與的方式。例如,在我們的文化活動中,我們喜歡邀請人們帶孩子或家人來。我舉辦過一個大型活動。我教美國歷史,我的一門課是食物史課,我教這個課主要是因為我想在學期末舉辦一個大型的、有趣的味覺測驗。


    Food. We all love that. Yes. But it evolved into this really cool multidisciplinary project that I work with, a science professor and English professors and librarians and all kinds of people that we put on this fun event at the end of the year that just grew and grew because the culinary and pastry got involved. And last year, we just had a ton of people, and it started off with you get to talk about, one food, and the history students would research the history, and the science students would talk about the scientific nutritional content, etcetera.


    They could be a really cool project. It was so fun, and it was judged, and it was so it's this kind of thing that because community colleges are focused on teaching, these are the kind of fun things that we get to do. Now I I also do research, but research is not my main focus. So if you your professors at a community college are there because their focus is teaching, and they're not gonna be you know, not to say, of course, like, four year university, professors care, but research is something they have to do for their jobs and for their time. So at a community college, the professors are interested in teaching.


    他們將會更深入研究教育學和成人教育學,也就是教學的科學,並且會運用一些在300名學生的教室裡看不到的新方法。嗯,對我來說,這就像一個實驗室,因此我們可以做很多有趣的事情。太棒了。現在你是 alteringcourse.com 的所有者了。


    Tell us, what is altering course? So I started that, because I wanted to focus on executive function as it pertained to school success. I've been helping students for over twenty years with things like study skills and persevering in college. But when I learned about executive functioning a couple years ago, like I said, that's the brain function that helps you get things done. When I learned about that, I thought, oh, this is this is really bringing everything together.


    So I wanted to have this coaching business to help people, like I said, identify the roots of the emotional roots of why they do what they do and to develop systems for them that actually work. Because I found that I was saying, well, there's three learning styles. Which one are you? Now do x y z, and you're fixed. Mhmm.


    When it's not that simple. We know now that the the brain is a lot more complex. People are a lot more complex. Mhmm. And it's about finding strategies that work for you, helping people become adaptable so that when the strategy they did think work would work forever doesn't work anymore because they've had a change in their life or environment or whatever, that they can be adaptable in that sense.


    So I'm I'm having a lot of fun with it. I do group coaching. I do one on one coaching, and it's it's basically putting everything I know altogether and then throw in the fact that we're a neurodivergent family. I've got a a spouse and a kiddo with ADHD. Mhmm.


    So all the executive function that we do at home gets sprinkled in there as well. Oh, okay. So who is Altering course for? So I primarily work with students, but, and that's students of anywhere from middle school up to you know, in the community college setting, I have students who are 60 and 70. So I'll work with any age student.


    Mhmm. The sweet spot is kind of people who are either new to college or preparing to go to college, and helping them kind of narrow in and hone in on the skills that they need to work on in order to be successful. Like I said, procrastination is a big one, but there could be others that are really big. And oftentimes, they can tell me, well, I struggle with, with time management. But they they don't know what part of time management they struggle with or why.


    So it's primarily, like I said, for students, but I've also found myself working with parents as well, particularly of neurodivergent students who just want some help kind of understanding how their kiddos' brain works and how they can support them, and that's been really rewarding as well. Okay. Well, I think it's great that you you started something for the in between place that I think a lot of people actually are. You know, trying to navigate I think trying to navigate college is hard, especially if you are coming it depends on where you're coming from as well. But if you haven't had any college training at home, I'm gonna call it that, it's I think it's difficult to be just all of a sudden thrown into this world that is totally different from high school.


    Totally. It depends on the high school you went to because some high schools do a good job of preparing you for it. Many do not. And they just give you this this, you know, required amount of information and then send you out the door. Every, you know, high school in America is not the same, but I know that that's true for many.


    Right? Well yeah. And I think that part of the shock of college is that the executive function if if you're looking at it like a 19 year old or an 18 year old or even a 22 year old whose frontal cortex of their brain is not, fully formed, you're asking them to perform executive function that their brain is not able to do. So in other words, they're being asked to handle a level of tasks that they're not actually able to perform. So that's one of the reasons why in my coaching business and as a professor, I focus on this is how you navigate resources.


    You might not know what I remember when I started college that, someone kept saying, you need to go to the bursar's office, and I was like, the what? And it took me, like, months to figure out that was where I went and paid my tuition. You know? Or, like so I was like, why not just call the business office? But it might not it might be called something weird, and you have to figure it out.


    But that's the curiosity and the task initiation of starting the process of getting the help and going and figuring out things that are new. Because change can be scary, particularly, for neurodivergent folks when you've been used to your schedule is totally planned out for you. Like, you've had some input maybe in high school, but then when you get to college, you have a lot of input, and you kind of just hope you made the right decision. And then, you know, your class is in one building, and then you've got ten minutes between, and you gotta run to the next one and hope that you make it. And if your last professor runs late, then, you know, things like that that have, you know, more of a knock on consequence than they do in high school.


    真正讓人產生隔閡的是能否在那些變化和障礙面前堅持下去,因為有些人會覺得,我不夠聰明。你知道,不管他們怎麼說自己,我都不是。沒錯。但堅持不懈的人才能成功,而那些缺乏毅力的人——我不知道我們現在對「毅力」這個詞是什麼感覺,但那些缺乏毅力的人最終只會苦苦掙扎。而且,你一門課不及格,並不代表你所有科目都失敗了。


    你可以再考一次。你可以繼續堅持下去。失敗是人生的一部分,這也是你在大學裡需要學習的另一件很棒的事。勇於嘗試,勇於嘗試新事物,你終將獲得回報。但有時你會感到害怕,感覺自己腳踏實地。


    So find a good mentor. Find a good, peer group because that makes a huge difference. Yes. So what I'm gonna pull out of that what I'm what I'm what I'm pulling out of that is it's important to make sure that we have support when we're going into something new like that. Absolutely.


    從高中升大學。這對我來說意義重大,是人生中最重要的轉折之一。如果沒有得到適當的支持,就很難堅持下去,也更容易放棄,我們看到很多人就是這麼做的。你知道嗎?很多人背負著大學債務,都是因為有些人沒有完成學業。


    And I wanna see everybody finish what they start. And I know that that's not a reality, but I'd like to see it as much of a reality as possible. So you you you started altering course because you saw a need. You saw that there was a a disconnect between, you know, some students and their own success. Just like I started this podcast because I saw a disconnect between youth and the adults who work with them or supposed to be creating things for them.


    And I think it's great that you started that, that you started that. Can you give us one example of someone that's been helped by, altering course? Sure. I can think about someone I worked with who was really struggling because they tried to always do the hardest thing first and finish it before they would move on with anything else, which in theory is not a terrible idea. But what it can mean is that you're starting with the most frustrating thing.


    You're getting more frustrated because it's hard, and then you're not able to move on. So what I suggested to them is that they start with that if they wanted to, but they set a time limit. They give themself a little reward, whether that's, you know, like a walk around the room for five minutes or something, and then to alternate it with something that didn't take up so much brain function. Because what we know about the brain is that it loves dopamine, which is the sort of feel good hormone, that releases, like, when you you, check something off of your to do list, right, that releases dopamine. But without that, the brain has a hard time moving.


    所以當我和他們一起工作時,我會向他們展示如何進行某種替代,我稱之為「多巴胺駭客」。你知道,做出這樣的改變很困難,因為你知道,從和那些你建議各種好方法的人一起工作的經驗來看,他們一開始就什麼都不做。改變很難,就像你之前說的。真的很難。所以這花了幾個星期,但他們確實嘗試了,然後,你知道,他們決定,哦,等等。


    This actually works, and my day is going better, and it's more efficient. And, so I said your brain needed to know that this could have a positive impact before you were ready to do it to do anymore else. Right? And then it was kind of a snowball effect of, like, okay. So so doctor Keith did have some good suggestions and, and more importantly, that it worked for them.


    Right? And then they were they were ready to kind of employ something else. So that's one thing I really wanna focus on in my coaching is the small wins, because it's really easy for me from my vantage point to say, well, just change all these things, and you'll be fine. But it's not about me. It's about how they can navigate and instigate their own change and keep it going.


    I wanna add a a side comment to what, what you just said. And I'm talking to the audience right now. What doctor Kerherly just said what I pulled out of that is she helped build their confidence. She figured out a way to build their confidence. And I can tell you right now, whatever you're not confident in, try.


    Because it's when we start doing things in those tiny little victories, and they could be what what, you know, what some would consider the stupidest, littlest thing. But they make they're not stupid because they make a difference for you and they build your confidence. When you build your confidence, you build your competence, and that is huge. And sometimes people are wondering walking around feeling dumb, not because they actually are dumb, but they simply don't have the confidence to move forward in what they need to do. And that lack of confidence makes it seem like you have no confidence, but you really just gotta try.


    And sometimes you need someone like doctor Kerherly or a therapist or whoever it is for you to help you get there. You know? I just think that's so important to point that out that the lack of confidence is sometimes the root of the issue and not your stupidity or your brainpower. You know? Because there's a I'm talking to the people who actually feel that way because there's a lot that feel that way, and I know that.


    You know? You were gonna say something else? Well, I was just gonna say sometimes we feel like we don't deserve for things to be easier because, you know, for me, it was always math. It was like, math is hard for me. I don't deserve for it to to go better.


    但事實並非如此。想想看,我的學生和我的客戶常常這麼說,他們說我不擅長這件事。你懂嗎?我們討論過心態,以及如何告訴你的大腦,你其實可以接受,然後你得哄騙它繼續前進。但你確實應該讓自己的日子過得更輕鬆一點。


    你確實應該更有效率地利用時間。你值得擁有所有這些,你必須開始相信這一點。如果你需要,就欺騙你的大腦,因為它只需要跟上節奏。我以前做過數學輔導,我會做些其他事情,我不知道我以前有沒有在電視上說過。也許吧。


    但我會和我的數學學生一起做一件事,你知道,你常聽到有人這麼說。哦天哪。我討厭數學。太糟糕了,我討厭數學。我討厭數學。


    但他們討厭數學的原因之一是他們不會用數學思維,我理解。我是數學思考者。代數的運作方式就是我的大腦運作方式。我把事物拆開再重新組合。這是我身為思維轉換者的工作內容之一。


    所以對我來說,代數尤其容易。但當我教數學的時候,我知道他們沒有我的大腦。所以我會弄清楚他們是怎麼思考的,然後,你知道,我會學習他們的思考方式,並加以利用。我會利用他們目前的思考方式,讓他們理解一個數學概念。一旦他們理解了這個概念,我們就可以討論這個等式叫什麼,以及那些符號是什麼。


    但我沒談標籤。我先談了內容,然後才加上標籤。接下來你知道的,他們開始計算這個瘋狂、冗長、瘋狂的方程式,他們覺得它比世界還要大。然後他們就會說,等等,我剛算完。


    Yeah. Because you can. So when when when when you break things down, and I and and to me, that's what you do. When you break things down for people to understand, it's another way of building their confidence and and letting them see that they can do this. And for you for you guys out there listening, sometimes you just have to try.


    That's what I meant when I said earlier. You just have to try, and you will find out that you can do more than you think you can. Because as soon as you you know, just like the old old saying, the engine that thought he couldn't, well, he didn't. You know? And and that might be why you not either because you because you keep telling yourself you can't, and we have to stop lying to ourselves.


    我覺得她說得真有道理。這讓我很感動,因為我個人也犯過類似的錯誤,覺得我們不值得,或覺得自己不配。你懂嗎?我不應該輕易得到這一切。我們不應該,你知道嗎?


    And and I know it's not just me, and I know there's a lot of people out there. May not even be self aware that they think that way, and I think it's important to point that out, you know, to point that out as well. Back to that emotional awareness piece. Yes. And it's it's really a big deal in life.


    你知道,我在節目中經常談論心理治療,因為我認為它對我們生活的方方面面都至關重要,無論是個人生活還是職業發展。這並不是說我們不在談論心理治療,而是對我來說,當你開始談論情緒智商時,它就與情緒智商有關了。在你結束之前,還有最後一件事。你對現在高中畢業班的學生有什麼最重要的建議?我最重要的建議是,你可以很容易地找到人來幫助你寫出完美的論文,或者準備SAT考試,甚至指導你進入好的大學,但你需要找到一位能夠幫助你提升執行力的導師。


    因為如果你無法管理時間,無法記住任務,無法集中註意力,無法制定計劃,那麼其他所有事情都無關緊要。我以前教過 SAT 或 ACT 準備課程,抱歉,教了整整一年,我當時在高中就讀。這也是我創辦公司的原因之一,因為我以為我所做的就是教他們如何應對考試,但他們中的許多人需要規劃和學習的基礎,以及解決數學問題等的思維靈活性。所以,我的首要建議是,有很多優秀的人可以幫助你做其他事情,但你需要找到一位可以幫助你提升執行功能技能的導師。如果你找不到導師,那就去 YouTube 找一些信譽良好的人,獲得一些關於如何管理這些技能的好建議。


    Amen. I I'm that's beautiful advice. I completely agree. And with that, I will say one little saying. Your education I just lost it.


    I just had it. What was it? Yes. It's not your education that makes you successful. It's your usage of it.


    And your executive functions are what's gonna bring you there. Yep. So how can they find you? Alteringcourse.com is the best place to look for me. All my socials are there.


    I read and answer every email that I get. So send me a message. Find me on socials, but that's alteringcourse.com. And there, if you go to the freebie section, I've got a free infographic about college prep and all the executive function skills that well, not all, but the the major categories of executive function skills there for you to download for free. And that's great because then they could see more specifically.


    But we couldn't go over every, you know, executive function today. We'll be here for forever. It's good. Right? But it's good for them to see more specifically what what some of those are besides the ones that we talked about.


    好的,Kerherley博士,非常感謝您今天的到來,也非常感謝您抽出時間和我們的聽眾們交談。非常感謝!真是太棒了。現在,讓我們進入一個思維轉換的時刻。我想花點時間,在你們的腦海中播下一顆思想的種子。


    We talked about a lot of things today and we talked about executive function. And I think that is so important. Are there things that you keep doing over and over again in your life or results that you keep getting over and over again in life? Why? I want you to really take a moment to think and examine why.


    Why do I keep procrastinating? Why do I keep having this same issue on every job I go on? Why? And if you take a look at the why with honesty and you're willing to put your pride aside and allow yourself to see where the problem lies, you might be able to fix it. So I want you to think today in the areas of your life that you consistently see the same problems.
