Episode Details

Last episode I talked about why smart, capable college students get stuck. Today I'm sharing the good news: there are five concrete systems I build with students that help them navigate college with more confidence, ease, and self-compassion. These aren't one-size-fits-all fixes, they're tools we design together to fit each student's unique brain.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How to build a real time management and prioritizing system when your student has never had this much freedom before (and why "one day at a time" stops working in college)
• Strategies to get unstuck and break the procrastination loop, including how we uncover what's really going on underneath the avoidance
• Why self-care requires executive functioning too, and how I help perfectionist, overachieving students learn to slow down without guilt
• Practical ways to minimize phone distractions, including a tool I personally love and recommend to students
• How to help your student actually use their campus resources, and work through the "I should be able to do this on my own" mindset that keeps them from asking for help
