Plan a Brain Fitness Week at Work

Care to zap your brain into shape for a new mental adventure today? It’s the difference between feeling trapped in routines or ruts … and challenging your brain for higher productivity.

Brain fitness often involves doing daily routines in different ways. To the brain, status quo is handled by the basal ganglia … while mental fitness tends to take place in the working memory. brainWeights.gif

Can you see how these two brain basics compete daily for your attention? How so?

If your basal ganglia routines win, you’ll likely linger in ruts. In contrast, with a few changed activities, you’ll grow more working memory for adventures.  Use more working memory and you also keep your brain alive and well.

Recent research shows how working memory can expand with use. Drawing from your multiple intelligences, why not change one routine each day this week. Each suggestion below draws on a different one of your multiple intelligences.
