Focusing on Focus!

While our iPhones can be our biggest distraction, they can also be our greatest tool. In the last year, Apple released a great Executive Function support called “Focus”, which provides its users the ability to reduce distractions and set personalized screen-time boundaries.

With Focus, users can set limits to app usage/access and silence notifications to help stay in the moment during times when we need to step away from our devices - such as during designated HW hours or even during a workout!

Focus is an awesome strategy for whenever we want to shift our attention away from the digital world. Once set, Focus can be automated to turn-on based on the user’s location, a specific time of day or even manually. There are a ton of customizable features to help you create the Focus that YOU (or your student) need to be effective and productive.
