Ways To Help Yourself

Here is a cool visual I came across today which features some interesting tips to help you focus. From the 11 tips mentioned here the ones I find myself lacking are number 6 " clear your desk completely" and number 7" Put on headphones", I definitely can not concentrate with music playing.

Below is a round-up of the 11 tips to help you stay focused. Have a look and let us know what you think of them.

• Keep food on your desk. Glucose help your brain focus.
• Turn off the phone. Most phone calls are not urgent.
• Get a good chair. There is a reason- bosses don’t seat on cheap chairs.
• Time yourself and see how much you did in 1 hour.
• Shut off everything that you are not really using.
• Clear your desk completely.
• Put on headphones. Classical music or no music is best for focusing.
• Make a list. Make it short.
• Reward yourself. If you get focused, be proud of yourself.
• Frame a picture of your goal. And look at it every morning before work.
• Bring your pet with you. They help you focus

What Do Americans Really Think About U.S. Education?

By Katie Lepi

There’s always chatter about how schools in the US are failing or succeeding. About how test scores are too low compared to other students around the globe. About how standardized testingis right or wrong, good or bad for our students. About how schooling (or unschooling) should really work. But what we talk about less often is how we feel about individual subjects that are taught in school. 

The handy infographic below takes a look at how Americans rate the importance and usefulness of certain school subjects in their current lives. It ranks the subjects from most to least useful, then breaks down the answers by education level and gender. Did algebra really ever help you? Or science?Keep reading to learn more.
