Do math problems in your head instead of on a calculator. For many of us, it is use it or lose it. We have become mentally lazy. We rely on our gadgets instead of thinking for ourselves. Working with and memorizing numbers is a great way to get your brain back in shape. This could pay off big dividends down the road!
心算而不是用計算器計算。對我們多數人而言,要么使用它,要么失去它。我們已經變得精神懶惰了。我們依賴工具而不是自己思考。處理和記憶數字是使大腦恢復狀態的好途徑。這一路上能夠償還大量股息。
Stop relying on your GPS to tell you where to go.
停止依靠GPS走路。
Remember the cab drivers in the 8th above? Using your brain to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B is good mental exercise. You have to use your brain's ability to determine spatial relationships to effectively read a map and navigate a city. Traveling in an unfamiliar area is even better!
記住第8條里所講的出租車司機。用你的大腦去指出如何從點A到點B是很好的思維體操。你必須用你大腦的能力來決定空間關系,提高讀地圖的效率和穿梭城市。在一個陌生的地方旅行就更好了!
