Dear Humans,

Working and schooling from home is hard! There are so many distractions. It’s as true for your parents and teachers as it is for you.

One of my daughters can only read with a cat on her lap. So she spends 10 minutes corralling the cat. Within two pages, the cat escapes and she has to chase it down again.

My other daughter is distracted by her own imagination. She’s hard at work on a math page and all of a sudden…the floor turns to lava and she must cross the room without touching it. And the math page just sits there.

It requires discipline. Set yourself a schedule and do as much as you can during that time. And once the time is done–even if not everything is completely finished–give in to the distractions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
