Increase Attention
Boost Productivity & Positivity
Being productive and positive begins with being able to focus on the present moment. Encouraging young people to regulate technology and distractions, set goals, prioritize their time, acknowledge and manage their feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and learn ways to deal with stress and anxiety, can enable them to strengthen their "attention muscles" and "emotional intelligence" and become more productive and happier.
