It's been a long day.

RTM flylady says do homework, housework, and breaks all in 15 minute increments to internalize what 15 minutes fills like and what 15 minutes worth of work results in.

that makes sense.,, Aiden works slowly at school (perfectionism and work too easy combo) but when I gave him a 15 minute timer to take to school he got through all his daily tasks. another kid broke the thing so I am looking for a new one now.

I think that the internal motivation will increase if you can find the trigger for his personally preferred learning style/topic of interest.
