17 Small Things To Do Every Day To Be Much Smarter

<p dir="ltr">Intelligence is flexible and there are a lot of things to give it a daily boost. For smart thinking your mind needs 3 things:</p>
<p dir="ltr">•To be trained in thinking processes<br>
•To have plenty of information<br>
•To focus on a problem or idea</p>
<p dir="ltr">For example, Thomas Edison was able to think of his light bulb because:</p>
<p dir="ltr">•He was a trained logical thinker<br>
•He knew a lot about electrical engineering<br>
•He focused on solving a problem</p><p dir="ltr"><b><i><br></i></b></p><p dir="ltr"><b><i>Here are a bunch of things to do every day to help your mind to think smart.</i></b><br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>1. Drink 2 glasses of water within 30 minutes of waking up</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Since you’ve been asleep for hours, your body has not gotten water for 6-9 hours. Water is needed for the filtration of waste products and fluid balance. Two big glasses of water offset the fluid deficit you had from sleeping. Studies on kids (study 1, study 2) show that drinking more water increases their ability to complete mental tasks. Make sure your brain is not dehydrated at the beginning of the day already.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>2. Read a book summary during breakfast</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Reading books is great, but breakfast is far more suitable for something shorter. Instead of reading news articles that have little impact on your life/intelligence, read best selling book summaries. You can find summaries by:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Googling your book title + summary, for example “7 Habits of Highly Effective People summary”<br>
Use a summary subscription like Blinkist or getAbstract</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>3. Listen to stimulating podcasts/</b><b>audiobooks</b><b> during your commute</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Even if you spend only 10 minutes on your bike like I do, load your phone up with intellectually stimulating audio. Good sources could be:</p>
<p dir="ltr">TED talks (their app lets you pre-download audio so you don’t eat your mobile data)<br>
Blinkist has some of their summaries in audio form<br>
Audiobooks you purchased<br>
Podcast of your favorite authors</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>4. Drink green tea while working</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Where caffeine makes many people anxious, green tea (especially Matcha tea) contains l-theanine. This aminoacid causes an increase in alpha brain waves in the brain. In practice this means that where coffee can induce anxiety, high quality green teas cause a relaxed focus without inducing sleepiness. This is also why l-theanine is available as a supplement to aid in relaxation and increasing cardiovascular health.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>5. Take naps during the day</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Napping helps your mind refresh. It’s been shown that napping during learning increases learning speed. Your mind has a rhythm that determines when it gets sleepy and when it needs sleep:</p>
<p dir="ltr">As you can see on average people feel more sleepy than usual between noon and 4 PM. This is a perfect time to have a nap, and will increase your alertness and productivity for the rest of the day. Personally I’ve has good results with post-workday naps too (around 6 PM).</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>6. Don’t take sugar during the day</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">In fact, if you can cut it altogether. But if you can’t for whatever reason, just make sure not to have it during times where you need to focus. Sugar highs and the following lows are not good to keep your brain functioning smartly. What does work very well are fatty acids. Try to switch any sweet stuff during lunch for something more substantial like fish or eggs.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>7. Do social media / meme websites only a couple of times a day</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">The brain adapts to the information you throw at it. If you bombard it work non-stimulating and fast switching information your focus will get destroyed. Keep your brain functioning on a higher level by throwing stimulating things at it. If you feel the need to procrastinate, set a timer  and don’t get lost in mindlessly scrolling.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>8. Play games instead of watching series or movies</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Watching tv is a passive activity. Your brain is consuming information, but not processing or interacting with it. Substitute or supplement this entertainment with gaming. A 2014 study showed that even a simple game like Super Mario has visible impact on brain plasticity (flexibility). Another piece of research covered by Forbes shows the same. Actively engage your brain where you can, instead of letting it slumber passively.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>9. Read a book instead of watching </b><b>tv</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Similar to playing games instead of watching tv, reading a book is an active exercise for the brain. Where watching video entertainment is a passive consumption of information, reading a book requires your brain to actively construct mental images of what you are reading.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>10. Do some programming</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Programming is a great way to learn to think logically and in patterns. Coding used to be hard to learn but with free websites like Codeacademy and free/paid platforms like Udemy it is easy and fun to learn. Consider it the next level of puzzles. As an added advantage learning to code in your free time increases your employability in the job market.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>11. Watch </b><b>TED</b><b> talks while cooking</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Preparing dinner is a great time to catch up on some cutting edge developments in Technology, Education and Design (ted.com). It turns what would otherwise be downtime into a fascinating and stimulating block of time. It’s like watching the news, only you are watching the world’s most inspiring individuals talk about their work.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>12. Do some simple exercises during the day</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">The body and the mind are strongly connected. Physical fitness helps the brain function well. You don’t however have to go to the gym every day to benefit from this (though you can of course). Doing some push-ups throughout the day and walking or skipping up some stairs has a great impact already. Try to do something physical every hour or so, even if it’s just getting up, stretching a little and tensing all your muscles as hard as you can for 5-10 seconds.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>13. Spend time with someone smarter than you</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Habits are socially contagious. It is a well known fact in science that obesity for example spreads through social networks (link to research). The habits and thinking patterns of those you spend time with rub off on you. Expose yourself to people who are smarter than you in order to benefit from them.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>14. Talk to people who disagree with you</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Get into (friendly) discussions with people who disagree with you on any topic. Arguing with them allows you to either:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sharpen your arguments<br>
Be convinced that you are wrong<br>
In both cases you win. In the first you convince the other person by out reasoning them, and I the second false logic you previously had is not eliminated.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>15. Go for a walk in nature</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Walking through nature has a number of benefits:</p>
<p dir="ltr">There is more oxygen since plants produce it<br>
The human mind calms down when surrounded by plants<br>
Walking helps your blood circulation<br>
Having a walk in a park at lunch time can greatly help you work smartly for the rest of the day.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>16. Carry a notepad</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Great minds like Leonardo Da Vinci always carries a notepad. They used it to jot down ideas, sketches and questions they had for later review. Having a little book on you and writing down interesting things can greatly help you train your curiosity and logical thinking.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>17. Take 10 minutes at the end of the day to plan tomorrow</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">By planning tomorrow the day before you begin the day with a plan. This allows you to work much more productively. Many people are busy all day, but not actually productive. A great part of being smart is knowing that hard work is inferior to smart work. Pick your battles in advance.</p>

Peter Buffett has been successful in his life too, although not completely because of his wealthy, successful father. This book tells the story of a hard-working wealthy child, and what his father instilled in him to become successful in music and philanthropy. Bill Gates said he will be reading it with his older children. You don’t have to be the child of a wealthy man to get this wisdom and enjoy <em>your</em> path.</div>

Being successful requires a certain amount of innovation. This buzzword does not spark a strong visual for many people. <em>Where Good Ideas Come From</em> defines what makes fertile ground for successful innovation.</div>

What the publisher says about the book: “The printing press, the pencil, the flush toilet, the battery–these are all great ideas. But where do they come from? What kind of environment breeds them? What sparks the flash of brilliance? How do we generate the breakthrough technologies that push forward our lives, our society, our culture? Steven Johnson’s answers are revelatory as he identifies the seven key patterns behind genuine innovation, and traces them across time and disciplines.”</div>

This book outright says what we have all suspected: our college education may not have emphasized learning as much as we believed. This book can make you successful for two reasons:</div>

1. You can put your college education in a mental box and give yourself permission to learn in the real world.</div>

2. If you are an educator, there is a real need for successful innovation.</div>

What the publisher says about this book: “In spite of soaring tuition costs, more and more students go to college every year. A bachelor’s degree is now required for entry into a growing number of professions. And some parents begin planning for the expense of sending their kids to college when they’re born.”</div>

“The dismal results presented in <em>Academically Adrift</em> are based on the Collegiate Learning Assessment, a standardized test in which students are asked to make a practical decision–such as, what kind of airplane a company should buy–and explain their choice based on a set of goals and facts about different options. I’m optimistic about the potential of innovation to help solve many of the problems with our post-secondary system. But we need more and better information.”</div>

Thinking that the US is going to hell in a handbasket creates a dismal picture of the world. Dismal pictures dampen a person’s ability to be successful. Some aspects are true: America is not growing as fast as other countries; we are falling behind in math and science and sometimes even business. It’s not actually horrifying; we have just been really amazing at inspiring other countries to be like us. And now it’s time for the US to take the next step and lead the world.</div>

What the publisher says about the book: “In <i>That Used to Be Us</i>, Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum analyze the four major challenges we face as a country–globalization, the revolution in information technology, chronic deficits, and our pattern of energy consumption–and spell out what we need to do now to preserve American power in the world.”</div>

The basic message is that other countries, the ones that are now competing with us and kind of scaring us, are not doing anything different from what we did in our past. We have a difficult time responding to them, however, because they’re copying the way we used to be, and meanwhile, we’ve changed. As our society has gotten richer, we’ve become more careful about protecting people’s rights and not harming the environment, for example.”</div>

Being successful requires taking a tough situation and transforming it into a beautiful piece of art. That’s what Deng Xiaoping did with the most populous country in the world. Before he came into power, China was in poverty and was unable to pull itself out. Deng transformed China’s business practices and and improved the country’s economy.</div>

What the publisher says about it: “No one in the twentieth century had a greater impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist–the pragmatic, disciplined force behind China’s radical economic, technological, and social transformation.”</div>

“China in 1979 was one of the poorest countries in the world, far poorer than India.

The easiest way to play YouTube videos in the background is to purchase a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/red" style="border: 0px; color: #43a8da; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">YouTube Red subscription</a>. The added bonus of this option is that it also removes YouTube ads and includes a subscription to <a href="https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-set-up-the-google-play-music-app" style="border: 0px; color: #43a8da; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_top">Google Play Music</a>. A YouTube Red subscription costs US$9.99 per month, however. If you want a free solution, you should use the Awesome Pop-up Video app instead.</div>

Awesome Pop-up Video doesn't play YouTube videos in the background, as such, rather it plays them in a small, movable pop-up window, which can be dragged to the side of the screen to achieve a similar effect. </div>

Please note that although this app allows you to play videos in the background, it won't let you play them with the screen off.</div>
