A practical, dimension-by-dimension guide to building the habits, strategies, and executive function skills you need before college starts.
Most college preparation focuses on academics. This guide focuses on the two-thirds of college success that academics doesn’t cover: your mental, physical, and social wellness — and the executive function skills that hold all three together.
The Preparation Playbook gives you specific habits and action steps for each dimension of the Wellness Triangle, organized to build the foundation before move-in day.
What's inside:
• Mental wellness: 5 habits to build before you go — stress protocols, campus resource mapping, sleep anchoring, independent help-seeking, and knowing the difference between a hard week and a concerning pattern
• Physical wellness: 5 habits to build before you go — sleep schedules, self-directed nutrition, exercise without a team, medication management, and campus health setup
• Social wellness: 4 habits to build before you go — the two-meeting rule, conversation reflex, family contact calibration, and normalizing first-week loneliness
• Executive function: the skill that holds it together — the EF skill underneath every wellness habit, named and explained
• The 30-day countdown — what to do, specifically, in the month before move-in
Who this is for: College-bound students who want a concrete preparation plan — not a checklist of things to buy, but a framework for who to be when they get there. Students with ADHD or EF challenges preparing for their first unstructured environment.• What's Actually Changing — the honest explanation of what disappears when high school ends
• 5 Mental Wellness Habits — stress protocols, campus resources, emotional awareness, intrinsic motivation, mental health anchors
• 5 Physical Wellness Habits — sleep routines, nutrition, exercise, medication management, personal warning signs
