IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
Learn by heart a “to do” list of then or more jobs for the day that incorporates a route - it could be your stroll to work, say or the walk to the gym and try to mentally link each job with one location: buying a newspaper at the shops, dropping off dry-cleaning in the high street, calling home outside the cafe and etc. Then ask yourself the following questions:
- What task follows buying the newspaper?
- What job precedes phoning home?
- The second job on the list is?
- Where on the list is the dry-cleaner’s?
The next day, come up with a new list and increase the number of itemse to 20.
BOOST YOUR SPATIAL AWARENESS
Navigate your way round the house blindfold (best not done alone!). Then sit in a chair and mentally walk round your house visualising your every move. Or put 12 objects on a tray memorise their location then get someone to move a few about. Guess which have moved.
CRUNCH MORE NUMBERS
Do these exercises everyday: add up your shopping in the queue before you pay; divide up bills when they come in; estimate quantities of things you pass, such as people in a group or trees in a garden. Keeping your mind nimble and always on the move with numerical teasers will improve your mathematical acuity.
WIDEN YOUR WORD POWER
Go for as many of these as possible: watch and play along with Countdown: learn a new word everday and use it often; make up anagrams of words; spend a day playing devil’s advocate in every situation you come across. These will improve your understanding of the true meaning of words.
