Does anyone happen to know of reliable ways for increasing one's supply of executive function, by the way?

Stimulants, exercise and the removal of chronic stress.

That sounds like ways of reducing the demand, not increasing the supply.

"Spending it better" is one option, but not the one that I want.

They are not. Each of those increase the supply of executive function.
