• You ever forget your homework even though you swore you did it?

• Lose your phone while it’s literally in your hand?

• Or end up watching YouTube at 2 a.m. even though you said you’d go to bed early?

Yeah—same.

This book wasn’t written by some adult in a button-up who hasn’t been a teen since the flip phone era.

It’s written for guys like us—who are smart, funny, maybe a little chaotic—and just want to figure out how to stay on top of life without totally burning out.

I’m a real teen who struggles with this stuff too, and I’ve spent the last few years learning how to actually get my brain to cooperate—especially when life gets busy, school gets stressful, or I just feel stuck.

Executive Functioning for Teen Boys isn’t about being perfect or robotic—it’s about learning how to use the tools you already have to stay focused, motivated, and in control.

In this book, you’ll discover:

• Why your brain sometimes feels like it’s running 37 tabs at once (and how to reboot it)

• The “Brain Boss” you didn’t know you had—and how to get him off the couch

• How to train your focus so you can zone in (even when everything’s distracting)

• Why starting things is the hardest part—and the hacks to finally beat procrastination

• How to stay cool under pressure, avoid blow-ups, and bounce back when you mess up

• What executive functioning really is, how it works, and how to level it up like a video game

Whether you're trying to crush it in school, on the field, in your hobbies, or just want life to feel a little less overwhelming—this book is your playbook.

• Every chapter is interactive.

• Every minute is made for guys who want to stop struggling and start leveling up.

• Real-life examples that actually make sense.

• Simple strategies you can use right away.

• Built by a teen, for other guys just like you.

Let’s get your Brain Boss off the bench and into the game.
