7. I am proud of having good executive function. And this is one of those where I know I got lucky that my executive function works, and I also put work into it.
One of the things that helps keep my small groups running is that I make plans and send reminders and show up on time and make copies and post information to websites. It's a lot of little details that keep groups running, a lot of care. Also meeting people where they're at, sending them a text (with their consent) if that will help them show up.
I keep track of my stuff. I do my dishes. I tackle bigger projects one step at a time, and they eventually get done.
I was thinking it might be all that trauma healing work that helped my executive function, but looking back, I was like this as a kid, too. I did my homework. I kept my books organized and remembered where individual ones were. Trauma can be disorganizing, but I think I had the opposite reaction - control what I could.
Also I think it's part of my heritage. I'm one of these, a Yekke, a German Jew. There are a lot of complicated feelings around that. I'd like to be proud of my heritage, but it's more like ruefully proud, always aware of being the odd one out, far from my people.
