messy desk
 
Need a good reason to try one of our iMusic CD's? I have at least 2 good ones for trying BrainAmp. 
 
Ever wonder why you just can't keep your desk clean at work no matter how hard your try? There may be a legitamate reason for this. According to Dr. Gioia and his collegues; one of your 8 Executive Functions may not be functioning correctly!  In a fact sheet prepared by the National Center for Learning Disabilities (2005), the term "Executive Function" refers to the mental processes that help connect experience and action. Dr. Gioria refers to two of these particular functions in the set as the "planning and organization" and the "organization of materials" functions. 

 

He believes that planning and organization functions are responsible for ones ability to manage "the current and the present" among other things, and the organization of materials to be "the ability to impose order on work, play and storage spaces." 

 

The fact sheet also goes on to state that " People with executive function problems have difficulty with planning, organizing and managing time and space. They also show weakness with "working memory" (or "seeing in your mind's eye"), which is an important tool in guiding one's actions. "  

 

So, the next time that you find yourself with a messy desk at work, you can rationalize it... at least a little, but you have a defense... BrainAmp.
