New Resource: Executive Functioning Workbook to Support Teens During Finals Season

Written By Allison Minnich

Finals season can bring a perfect storm of stress, procrastination, and burnout for high schoolers. That’s why we created the Executive Functioning Workbook for High Schoolers- a practical, therapist-designed tool to help teens strengthen the skills they need most during this high-pressure time of year.

Executive functioning skills—like time management, organization, task initiation, and emotion regulation—are essential for staying focused and following through when the stakes feel high. This workbook is packed with resources to help students manage their workload, avoid last-minute cramming, and approach finals with more confidence and less overwhelm.

Inside, you'll find:

  • Psychoeducation to help teens understand how stress impacts the brain during exams

  • Self-assessments to pinpoint strengths and challenges

  • Worksheets and planning tools for breaking down tasks, setting priorities, and staying on track

  • Strategies for managing test anxiety and motivation slumps

  • Reflection prompts to encourage self-awareness and growth beyond finals week
