  • reasoning, planning
  • working memory
  • focus and impulse control


  • Active recall (Anki, QCM, teaching others) forces thinking
  • Deep work (no distractions) strengthens focus circuits
  • Problem-solving (not passive reading)

  • spatial + contextual memory
  • Spaced repetition ( J method that is based on the forgetting curve)
  • Sleep (critical: memories consolidate during sleep)
  • Linking info (schemas, mind maps)

  • fine-tunes skills
  • makes thinking faster and smoother
  • repetition + correction
  • practice until speed increases



Intelligence = neural connections + efficiency

You become “smarter” when:
  • connections are stronger (repetition)
  • connections are faster (practice)
  • connections are better organized (understanding)


Prefrontal Cortex (focus, reasoning)
  • Chess / strategy games
  • Debating (arguing a position logically)
  • Learning a new language (actively speaking)
  • Planning something complex (trip, project, budget)
Hippocampus (memory)
  • Navigating without GPS
  • Memorizing song lyrics or poetry
  • Learning dance choreographies
  • Playing memory-based games (cards, sequences)

basically you get smarter by
  • challenging your brain
  • forcing effort
  • building memory + focus systems
Parietal Lobes (logic, spatial reasoning)
  • Puzzles (Rubik’s cube, geometry puzzles)
  • Drawing / sketching from observation
  • 3D video games (navigation, aiming)
  • DIY / building things (IKEA, crafts)
Anterior Cingulate Cortex (focus, error detection)
  • Meditation (especially focused attention)
  • Cold exposure (cold shower)
  • Doing boring tasks without distraction
  • Skill practice with feedback (e.g., music instrument)
Basal Ganglia (habits)
  • Daily routines (same wake-up, same schedule)
  • Gym training
  • Practicing a skill every day (instrument, drawing)
Dopamine System (motivation)
  • working out
  • Setting goals and achieving them ( starting with small ones of course )
  • Sunlight exposure (morning light)
cerebellum ( efficiency)
  • Learning an instrument
  • Sports with coordination (tennis, boxing)
  • Typing fast / handwriting drills
