- Read Something Daily: Reading is one of the most practical and effective ways to stock the mind with knowledge. It has a lot of “inventory” it needs to draw from, so it becomes sharp when it has enough stock knowledge.
- Write Things Down By Hand: A study by psychologists from Princeton University discovered that subjects who wrote down notes by hand tend to do much better during exams than those who took “digital” notes. Those who did could better synthesize the information shared by lecturers, allowing them to understand the subjects much better. Specifically, the limitations posed by manual note-taking forced students to be optimally selective when it came to information presented by lecturers.
- Play Mentally Challenging Brain Games: Games like chess, solitaire, checkers, backgammon, and crossword puzzles force you to exercise your mind through clever ideas to help you win. And games are a terrific way to pass the time and reduce stress levels while keeping your mind active.
