50 Ways To Boost Your Brain Power
I just came across an article and decided to share it with you guys. This will help you think faster, improve the memory and comprehend information better. Hope it'll be useful))
1. Solve puzzles and brainteasers.
2. Use your non-dominant hand to brush your teeth, comb your hair or use the mouse. Write with both hands simultaneously. Switch hands for knife and fork.
3. Block one or more senses. Eat blindfolded, wear earplugs, shower with your eyes closed.
4. Learn mind mapping. A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas.
5. Develop comparative tasting. Learn to properly taste wine, chocolate, beer, cheese or anything else.

Thanks Hayku, really interesting and useful post.
ReplyDeleteAll the 50 points surely will be helpful, but I liked the number 12 most-LEARN TO JUGGLE:):):)
hehehe that's good for concentration, can't wait to see you juggle:)))
ReplyDeleteSurely it will develop concentration, but I also think that the author might have meant the ideas, one should learn to juggle the ideas as well, meaning that you have to speculate on an idea from different perspectives... Just a subjective comment:) does that make sense to you?
