How I Exercise My Mind
April 23, 2008 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
Because I’m constantly connected to real people as well as the Internet it can be difficult sometimes to keep your mind sharp and on focus. I’m not perfect in that regard, that’s for sure. But I do try to keep a fairly clean calendar with important events and conversations.
In addition to my email and calendar practices I also do some other things to try to stay ahead of my mind. For instance, I regularly check my RSS reader to stay current on news and information in topic areas that I’m interested in.
But staying sharp isn’t just staying organized, I also try to get out and walk or run several times a week. I’m not always successful but I do certainly feel a lot better about my workload, stress, and well being after being physically active.
My Nintendo DS also helps to keep me on top of my game, I enjoy taking a quick break now and again to play some Brain Age, or Big Brain Academy. The DS is the first video game system that I’ve purchased in quite a while (although the Wii is awful fun to play if someone else has the equipment).
Ok so this post actually ended up being shorter than you might think, what things to do you do in order to stay sharp and focused?
Video Games To Make You Smarter

Now I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a big video game buff and don’t actually own any of the nicer, newer video game systems. But I will admit to owning a Nintendo DS, this big brother to the GameBoys of yesteryear is a real intellectual guru.
There are actually games for the DS that make you smarter, they activate and stimulate things like the pre-frontal cortex which enhances memory, creativity and other wonderful things.
Little games like Brain Age, Brain Age 2, and Big Brain Academy are made specifically to help make you smarter.
Not only is this a great way to sell video games to people who otherwise wouldn’t be interested, but it’s also a great way to show that you care about your customers and their intellect.
