Six short drills for verbal, spatial and sequential memory, concentration and focus. Beat your best on each one.

Your daily brain workout. Habits keep the brain adaptable — break your autopilot, then log the day to grow your streak.
Do a few of these today. They force your brain out of autopilot — the core Brain Exercise from the book.
Sleep 7–8h. Memory consolidates during sleep. Keep a fixed routine, dark room, no screens in bed.
Move 30 min/day. Walking, cycling, swimming — more oxygen and blood to the brain.
Eat for the brain. Nutrient-rich whole foods; hydrate; go easy on sugar crashes.
Lower stress. Breathing and a calm mind free up focus — you can't remember what you never attended to.
