exercise your brain.

鍛煉你的大腦。

Break your routines.

打破常規。

Drive a new way to work. Try writing with your less dominant hand. Mix things up a little. This perks up your brain because it requires you to think more. You aren’t just running on auto-pilot. Challenge your brain by getting out of your routines and it will respond. This is a great way to get your mental juices flowing.

選擇一條新路開車去工作。試著用另外一只手去寫字。將一點不同的東西摻雜在一起。這將使你的大腦得到鍛煉，因為它需要你思考更多。你不能只是自動駕駛。離開你的定式來挑戰你的大腦，它將有所反應。這是使你“腦漿”流動的好方法。

Stop watching so much television.

不要看太多電視。

Researchers have found that too much television between the ages of 1 and 3 leads to attention problems later in childhood. Let's face it, TV is mind-numbing. Get up off the couch and away from the television. Sure, there is some good educational stuff for children and adults, but the average American watches way too much TV. If you want peak mental performance, then turn off the boob tube.

研究者發現在1-3歲時看太多電視會導致兒童注意力問題。也就是說，電視使心態麻木。從沙發上起來，離開電視機。當然，也有一些好的教育節目給孩子和大人們，但是整體上美國人看太多電視了。如果你想要高效的精神表現就關掉電視吧
