The Homeschool Solutions Show 449 | Deep Work: Learning Focus in a World of Distraction (Janice Campbell) | REPLAY
Life can be so busy that it's hard to focus on the things that really matter. Although Cal Newport's book, Deep Work, isn't written specifically for homeschooling families, his ideas are surprisingly compatible with Charlotte Mason's philosophy of education, and can help you discover ways to create focused, peaceful, and productive habits in every area of life.
