The get smarter guide


In the Guardian there is an interesting article on everyday optimization of your brain – off course it comes with a “how to guide”. But the Tuesday advice “Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into conversations” should be no new exercise for people working within strategy and planning.

Here is the article:

The week based “how to”:

Saturday
Brush your teeth with your 'wrong' hand and take a shower with your eyes closed.

Sunday
Do the crossword or Sudoku puzzle in your Sunday paper and take a brisk walk.

Monday
Have oily fish for dinner, and either cycle, walk or take the bus into work.

Tuesday
Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into conversations.

Wednesday
Go to yoga, Pilates or a meditation class, and talk to someone you don't know.

Thursday
Take a different route to work; watch Countdown or Brainteaser.

Friday
Avoid caffeine or alcohol; memorise your shopping list.
