			[https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/05/24/611609366/whats-going-on-in-your-childs-brain-when-you-read-them-a-story What's going on in a child's brain when you read them a story?] explains a [https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-05/pas-nsm042618.php recently-published study] that measures the brain during three different delivery methods of the same story: audio-only delivery (i.e. hearing the story) audio and pictures, and audio and animation. It found that the mix of audio and pictures (similar to a parent reading a physical book to a child) provided the best opportunity for children to build connections between what they were hearing, seeing, and understanding.

			<blockquote>When children could see illustrations, language-network activity dropped a bit compared to the audio condition. Instead of only paying attention to the words, Hutton says, the children's understanding of the story was "scaffolded" by having the images as clues.

			"Give them a picture and they have a cookie to work with," he explains. "With animation it's all dumped on them all at once and they don't have to do any of the work."

			Most importantly, in the illustrated book condition, researchers saw increased connectivity between — and among — all the networks they were looking at: visual perception, imagery, default mode and language.</blockquote>

	<blockquote>To create a state of flow, one must follow certain rules and embrace deliberate practice through a concept called deep work. In order to produce the absolute best results you’re capable of, you need to commit to deep work. The key to developing the ability for deep work is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and rituals designed to minimize the amount of your limited willpower necessary to transition from a distracted state into a state of stable concentration. The rule of thumb is that it takes approximately 25 minutes of focus without distraction to reach a state of flow. If you’re checking your Twitter notifications every 20 minutes, which seems harmless, you prevent your brain from reaching that state and therefore prolong the time required to complete your task.</blockquote>		<blockquote>To create a state of flow, one must follow certain rules and embrace deliberate practice through a concept called deep work.
