exercise your brain.

锻炼你的大脑。

Break your routines.

打破常规。

Drive a new way to work. Try writing with your less dominant hand. Mix things up a little. This perks up your brain because it requires you to think more. You aren’t just running on auto-pilot. Challenge your brain by getting out of your routines and it will respond. This is a great way to get your mental juices flowing.

选择一条新路开车去工作。试着用另外一只手去写字。将一点不同的东西掺杂在一起。这将使你的大脑得到锻炼，因为它需要你思考更多。你不能只是自动驾驶。离开你的定式来挑战你的大脑，它将有所反应。这是使你“脑浆”流动的好方法。

Stop watching so much television.

不要看太多电视。

Researchers have found that too much television between the ages of 1 and 3 leads to attention problems later in childhood. Let's face it, TV is mind-numbing. Get up off the couch and away from the television. Sure, there is some good educational stuff for children and adults, but the average American watches way too much TV. If you want peak mental performance, then turn off the boob tube.

研究者发现在1-3岁时看太多电视会导致儿童注意力问题。也就是说，电视使心态麻木。从沙发上起来，离开电视机。当然，也有一些好的教育节目给孩子和大人们，但是整体上美国人看太多电视了。如果你想要高效的精神表现就关掉电视吧
