Thinking and planning tools
Making a cup of tea in the right order, working out what comes next, and holding back the first answer when it is the wrong one: planning and self-control sit behind every everyday task, and they are the skills that make a routine feel easy or impossible.
Sequencing puts shuffled steps, numbers, letters or days back in order, guided or scored at the end. Pattern Recognition asks for the rule behind a pattern. Stroop is the classic interference task, tapping the ink color instead of the word. The everyday living sessions on this site put the same skills to work in a full task.

Using these tools
- Guided sequencing of a familiar activity makes a gentle first round; move to scoring at the end to see planning rather than correction.
- Stroop rounds are short by design; two or three in a session is plenty.
- For a longer piece of planning, hand over a guided session such as Weekly Planning and keep the record.
Practice and cognitive stimulation tools, not assessments or treatment. Nothing about the people who practice is stored.
