Academy For Independence

I'm delighted to have Chester Santos, aka, "The International Man of Memory" on the show. In this episode, Chester shares a bit about his life as a teenager. He also discusses the three principles to keep in mind for an astonishing and powerful memory. In fact, he demonstrates one of his powerful memory techniques on yours truly, ME! I was amazed that I remembered so many random words with one of his techniques....

5 Digital Tools to Help Your Teen Stay Focused During Remote Learning. 1. Work Mode available at Chrome Web Store: Checking social media during a break from school isn't the most beneficial for your teen. Work Mode blocks all their feeds so they can't hop on and off social media to see what their friends are doing. (https://chrome.google.com//dmijhfnjdfpaanlbahmklnhjkbhegep) 2. iGotThisFamily by Common Sense Media is an app originally designed for kids with ADHD. This app ...allows parents to assign "Must Do" tasks and helps tweens/teens track their progress with incentives you can create in the app. This can help your teen to complete their homework and remain focused to earn a reward. (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/app-reviews/igotthis-family) 3. Freedom. This tool works across devices, so if your teen is one who likes to hop from computer to phone to tablet, then Freedom is worth trying. (I love the name and so will your teen!) "With this tool, you can restrict specific apps and sites, block the internet entirely for dedicated homework time, and schedule internet sessions that end at a predetermined time. "(https://freedom.to/stayfocusd/?utm_source=refersion) 4. Habitica: Gamified Task Manager. If your tween/teen is motivated by racking up points on video games, beating enemies, and checking leaderboards, in other words, goal-oriented and competitive, Habitica may be a good option. "Habitica turns habit building, habit breaking, and productivity into a gaming experience." The app rewards your teen when they maintain good habits and break bad ones. Points are subtracted if they slip up.(https://www.commonsensemedia.org//habitica-gamified-task-m) 5. Just Read. This plug-in can get rid of ads and other distractions on webpages so you can just read. For teens with Asperger Syndrome and/or ADHD, this is a great tool so that when they are doing research or other searches online, this tool can help them focus on the task at hand.
