In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss action-oriented executive functioning skills to help you move from thinking to doing. This is part two of a special mini-series where I share practical strategies for task execution. I cover three key skill areas: task initiation and planning (your ability to begin tasks and map out necessary steps), organization and time management (creating systems for materials/information and allocating time effectively), and inhibitory control and emotional regulation (resisting impulses and managing emotions). For each skill area, I provide concrete strategies including the five-minute rule, backwards planning, digital organizing systems, and distraction-blocking tools, among others. I emphasize that strengthening these executive functioning skills benefits everyone—whether you're a student, professional, or anywhere in between—as they help you effectively plan, focus, remember, and manage your actions across all areas of life. If you liked what you heard, check out episode 238 on executive functioning skills 101, episode 237 on how to time block, and episode 312 on what to do when time blocking doesn't work for you.

They include: working memory (your brain's capacity to temporarily hold and manipulate information), attention control (sustaining focus while filtering distractions), cognitive flexibility (adapting to changes), and metacognition (thinking about your thinking). For each skill, I offer practical strategies such as externalizing information through concept maps, working in timed focus blocks, developing alternative pathways, and regular self-reflection. I also stress that everyone's executive functioning varies based on factors like energy levels, sleep, and nutrition.

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I share my top five productivity tips for chronic illness, autism, and ADHD. Inspired by the many shortcomings of conventional productivity advice, particularly its lack of inclusivity for disabled, neurodivergent, and chronically ill individuals, I share strategies that can be adaptable for those who are autistic, ADHD, or spoonies.

I am over the moon to announce that the podcast has been awarded the Bronze and Listener's Choice 2024 Signal awards in the Artists and Designers Shaping Culture Category! Cheers to more seasons and more awards. Now on today's show you are in for a real treat because you have two Jersey girls, with Caribbean mothers, and theater backgrounds on the microphone. It was such a pleasure to sit down with none other than actorprenuer Lori Tishfield, who now resides in Toronto. We discuss how important it is to maintain a sense of self beyond your professional identity and sitting in a place of balance between internal validation and the need for external affirmation from the industry. We touch upon overcoming self doubt and societal conditioning so you can own your confidence and move through your career, business and life with agency. Reminiscing on how the regalness of the black actresses we grow up on and their mere presence was empowering and unapologetic, teaching us we are expensive. Our thoughts, feelings, and contributions to this world especially as black women are expensive and we should act accordingly. We dissect how rejection is protection, the need to sometimes pull the receipts from past experiences to remember things that have worked out before and not forcing doors shut before their time. This episode boils down to trusting your intuition as your compass, understanding that your path is uniquely yours, and pivoting with grace so you can see where the journey takes you. Lori Tishfield is an Actorpreneur simultaneously based in Brooklyn and Toronto. Lori's most recent live performances have been as a featured vocalist in André De Shields' concert series and in her recent and first solo show, Audra on a Budget, at Green Room 42. On television, Lori can also be found in Orange is the New Black and FBI: Most Wanted. Aside from the arts, Lori is the Founder of Natural Talent, an experiential staffing agency exclusively staffing actors in brand ambassador work. In the last 9 years, Natural Talent has partnered with over 300 brands and provided “survival jobs” for over 500 actors nationwide.
