💡 Working memory is your brains sticky note- holding information just long enough to use it 💡

Working memory helps us keep track of information for a short time so we can complete a task. It’s what lets you remember a phone number long enough to dial it, follow a teacher’s instructions, or keep the first part of a sentence in mind while finishing writing it.

When working memory is tricky, people may forget instructions, lose track of tasks, or need things repeated often.

OTs support working memory by reducing the load on the brain. This could be by using visuals, checklists, routines, and strategies that make information easier to hold onto. The goal isn’t to do more, but to make tasks feel achievable and less overwhelming.

💛 Today is R U OK? Day

A reminder to pause, check in, and have meaningful conversations with those around us.

A simple question- “Are you okay?”- can open the door to connection, support, and hope. You don’t need to be an expert, just a good listener.

Take a moment today to reach out to a friend, family member, or colleague. Your conversation could make a real difference.

Because everyday is a good day to ask, “R U OK?” 💛

🥗 Cooking up skills at Health Works NSW!

Last week in our OT Cooking Group, clients worked together to plan, prep, and plate a delicious meal- all while building time management, sequencing, kitchen safety, communication, and teamwork skills.

From chopping to chatting, every step was a recipe for independence. 💪✨

Friendly Reminder Friday☀️

You don’t have to be flawless to make progress. Small, steady steps every day add up - even when it feels slow or messy.

Whether you’re building new habits, managing a health condition, or learning new skills, showing up regularly matters more than doing it perfectly.

Be patient and kind to yourself. Progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about persistence.

🧠 What is Executive Functioning?

Think of it as your brain’s management system - helping you plan, organise, focus, and get things done.

Every time you make a to-do list, switch between tasks, or remember important appointments, you’re using executive functioning skills.

Sometimes these skills can be affected by brain injury, ADHD, mental health challenges, or ageing - and that can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming.

Sometimes these skills can be harder to use due to factors like brain injury, ADHD, mental health, or aging, making daily life feel more challenging.

Understanding executive functioning can help you find ways to work around these challenges and stay on track.

Many people think Occupational Therapy is just for children, but that's not the case.

OTs work with adults and older people to:
- Manage chronic conditions
- Recover after injury or illness
- Adapt their environment for safety
- Improve focus, memory, or daily routines
- Regain independence in self-care and home tasks

If it matters to your daily life, OT can help you do it.

🔔 Friendly Reminder Friday

Before we can focus, follow instructions, or engage… we need to feel safe and regulated.

🌟 Pause
🌟Breathe
🌟Reset

Whether you’re 5 or 55, emotional regulation lays the foundation for everything else.

Let this be your cue to slow down and honour what your body and brain need- first.

You’ve got this 🤝
