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?

- still at dinner with the FAM. #
- @cipherswarm will you share when you find one please!? #
- @samharrelson go for it! Amazon has them for a few dollars off, which is more than you’ll find elsewhere. #
- What are the essentials places to visit in Dallas? I’ll be there Sunday-Tuesday. Food? Activities? Tweetup? #
- @biz what’s your favorite game? I’m trying to find a Wii to buy. #
- @cameronreilly why not? I’ve purchased a couple of times, but prefer Barnes and Noble for B&M, and Amazon above all else. #

- Packing for my trip tomorrow. #
- Well I was planning on Twittering my travel tomorrow, but won’t be now that Twitter will be down all day
# - I’m glad I’m not on T-Mobile and having Twitter problems, ATT typically takes pretty good care of me. #
- @annieR ahh, I’m sorry #
- @amyjane ouch! Get well soon #
- @dmotion Grow up! #
- @annieR I’ll sponsor your grad paper, is it done yet? #
- @deanpence that’s awesome, been a while since I’ve seen one travel that far. #
- Just checked the travel weather for tomorrow, snow will be picking up as the wheels go up in the plane, let’s hope for the best! #
- Oh hell, we’ve already got a quarter inch of snow, it’s accumulating quickly #
- I know its late, but I really just kinda wanna shovel snow, it’s kinda fun when there’s not much of it. #
- Iced tea a couple hours ago was a BAD choice. #
- You can see the snow arriving on this highway map of road conditions: http://maps.modot.mo.gov/travelerinformation/TravelerInformation.a … #
- @acafourek go for ATT and an iPhone, it’s worth it. #
- Be my friend on Pownce: http://pownce.com/jdcoffman/ #
- Alright well the highway map is showing the Interstate as ‘covered’ but KCI is reporting no flight delays, so I think we’re good as of now. #
- Just shovelled my driveway now waiting for the airport shuttle #
- There’s about two inches of snow and it’s still falling steadily. #
- Thanks @santacause! #
- Just transferred onto a larger bus for ride to kansas city. Should leave columbia any minute. #
- The Interstate isn’t too bad but the driver is taking it pretty easy. Time will be crunched good thing I’m checked in #
- @newmediajim hopefully Twitter doesn’t return tonight as "Twiiter Provided by Pepsi" gasp! #
- Timing isnt looking good. But there are no delays at the airport. Could be good or bad at this point. #
- Were about 100 miles from the airport,drivng 60mph and my flight leaves in 2 hours. Its a crap shoot. #
- We need about a 10 mph boost for me to make it I think. I’m in the furthest terminal so last off too. #
- @conniereece, @biz says its true. Glad to be Att with iPhone over here #
- I think in going to make it. Were a couple miles from the airport. #
- They held the plane so I made it. It’d a miracle #
- Talk about stressfull geez. #
- What do you think the chances of my luggage making it to Houston are? Slim I’d guess #
- Now were waiting to get deiced. Gross #
- They moved the flight to another gate have to change terminals again #
- Home free. My stress level he dropped to normal levels now #
- They just delayed my flight from Dallas to houston by a half hour. Will it ever end?? #
- On the upside maybe my luggage will make it to this flight. #
- Delayed and foiled again! Looks like we won’t leave Dallas until about 3:40 #
- There’s a soldier waiting for this flight and he has a lighter. How does that work?? #
- Finally on the plane from Dallas on way to houston. #
- Finally made it to Houston!! #
