Values-Based Executive Functioning System Template

Executive functioning isn't just about getting more done. It's about building systems that help you do what actually matters to you.

The Values-Based Executive Functioning System Template is a two-page, neurodivergent-affirming tool for creating an individualized approach to organization, routines, task management, and reflection—without making productivity the ultimate goal.

Clients begin by identifying their core values and the executive skills they want to strengthen. From there, they can create flexible daily anchors, connect tasks and projects with purpose, account for urgency and motivation, and develop realistic next actions.

The system also includes a weekly review and reset alongside a defusion and self-compassion practice for noticing the thoughts and internal “parts” that can show up around productivity.

Helpful for: ADHD • executive functioning • task initiation • time management • organization • working memory • planning and prioritizing • flexible routines • motivation • values work • perfectionism • productivity shame

Includes: 2-page printable PDF featuring core-values identification, executive-skills reflection, daily anchors, values-based project tracking, weekly review prompts, and a defusion/self-compassion section.

Great for individual therapy, ADHD/executive-functioning support, between-session planning, or collaboratively developing sustainable systems with clients.
