What would an artificial executive controller look like?

Post Reply New Topic

I know that I am not alone in saying that I am good at getting jobs and poor at keeping. That is because I have splinter skills in researching the company, the field of work, and writing the application. Then I get promoted to do some big project, and I fail over and over again, only to try again when some new employer sees something positive in my resume and tries me again. What I lack has something to do with the executive control function of the brain. Planning, sequencing, prioritizing, adapting in the moment--all skills needed to do a big project on time and under budget. What would an artificial executive control support look like? By what criteria would we measure its effectiveness? I am thinking of a certain kind (Franklin Covey planning system or Getting Things Done), but could there be other kinds I am not thinking of? Does anything exist in this area? Is it important to customize it for people with autism, besides for each individual? I have been asking for support in this area decades (and made a few attempts and developing my own). But for most of that time I had no idea that I had autism, and no idea about executive control functions of the brain.
