1. Start Writing! Putting thoughts into words boosts your brain power. Diaries, idea-journals, poetry, note-taking, story-writing, letters, websites and blogs - they're all great.
2. Use your sense of touch! When you are killing time waiting for a bus, distinguish coins using only your sense of touch. For a real challenge, try to distinguish paper currency by touch.
3. Eat fractal vegetables! Broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables from the cabbage family are great for memory. Harvard researchers found that women who ate the most cruciferous vegetables performed better on memory tests than those who ate the least.
4. Turn down the TV! Turn the volume down a little, to force you to concentrate more closely to follow what's being said. When you can do that, turn the volume down even more.
5. Take a new route! Don't just go to school, shops or work by the automatic way that you know by heart. Take a new route, and force your brain to focus its attention on the task.
6. Eat fish! Especially oily fish such as mackerel, kippers or salmon that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Eating fish improves concentration, and can actually speed up brain waves.
