Exactly, the only way to make your body do something better is to do it a lot.

Of course, there are shortcuts (which we aren't allowed to discuss on this forum)....but, with perhaps a few key exceptions, this is a temporary solution to your problem that is actually going to do the opposite of what you want in the long run.

 

Use more cannabis.

It promotes neurogenesis of the hippocampi.

It may make your short term memory worse while you use it but in the long run its beneficial.

or really

look into learning some memory tricks. check out the guys who train for the memory championships and what not and what they do to be able to remember so well.

 

According to your sig, you should have done 2,700 push ups since January.. That's 11.25 push ups a day, triple that number and get some more exercise. As was said, a healthy body promotes a healthy mind.

 

There's no evidence that any brain games increase your abilities. The only thing that helps is by doing exercises that are related to the tasks you want to get better at. As in math, you work problems that are like the one's you want to be able to do. If it's reasoning then work problems that deal with that. A good general rule is the longer it takes to work a problem the better, if you can do a problem in 30 sec. then it's not really doing you any good.

 

you may not like this, but doing lots of math is a great way to improve problem solving skills and speed and memory. math is the best for mental training.

puzzle games will make you better but only at those puzzles.

the advantage of math is that it relates to everything
