How to Improve Executive Function

Executive function has become a huge self improvement buzz word. People think you can improve it through brain training, phonaps and computer games. But i'm here to tell you that this way of thinking about executive function is all wrong. Brain training won't improve executive function in a broad sense because it involves exercising it in a narrow way outside of the real world context we actually use it. If you really want to improve your executive function in a way that matters for your life, you have to understand how it's influenced by context.
