Why to sharpen your mind?

It will lead to:
- Enhanced Cognitive Capacity
- Increased Memory Capacity
- Delayed Mental Decline that Occurs from Aging
- Overall success in whatever you do
1. Challenge Your Brain with Mental Exercises.

One of the main ways to sharpen your mind is by doing mental exercises. This stimulates your brain cells, causing them to communicate with one another.

E.g. Solving the Rubik's cube, learning new hobby or a new language
2. Repeat Information

When trying to recall something you've just read or heard, repeat the information out loud as well as write it down.
This helps to reinforce the new facts in your memory. However, don't just repeat without reviewing. Plan to go over it again shortly.
3. Read More Books

People who read a lot of books are better at recalling information than non-readers.
That's why you should read more books and publications on a wide variety of subjects.
4. Engage More with People in Challenging Games

When you participate in interactive, challenging games and activities with others you're 65% to 75% more likely to remain sharp and prevent memory disorders from occurring, such as Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Get Quality Sleep

Even if you do everything possible to improve your cognitive abilities, your brain still won't function as well as it should if you fail to get enough sleep.

Getting quality sleep can help your brain recover and work effectively
6. Exercise

Along with keeping you physically fit, exercise does wonders to keep your brain sharp.
Exercising 3-4 times a week will give your brain a much needed energy boost
7. Engage in stimulating conversation

Have these conversations in real life, outside the computer or mobile phone screen.
The art of conversation requires that we think on our feet, and conversing with someone smarter than you can be a fantastic exercise for the brain
8. Give your brain a break.

You can't be "on" all the time. Make productivity apps a part of your daily routine, to automate redundant tasks that take up your time and brain space.
9. Practice meditation

You can help protect and strengthen your brain by engaging in meditation practice, even if it's just 10 to 20 minutes a day. You can practice breath-focused exercises, mindfulness meditation, yoga, tai chi, or engage in a spiritual practices like prayer
