I think the mind needs some exercise, just like the muscles, to stay fit. Also focus helps a lot and I'm already working on that.

What mind work do you recommend, that would stimulate the mind in a 'good' way? Should I just do some math excercises? (I hope there's something more entertaining, tho...)
I don't know about you, but I have REAAAAAALLLY been diggin' the PC Game Company of Heroes. Good god that game is tough, but when you get the hang of it, it's a blast.

That game *WILL* improve your multitasking skills, resource management skills, math skills, and situational/spatial analysis if you stick with it. I promise you that. I've noticed my performance in other areas of my life improving, which is not common for me after playing a non-educational video game that is designed purely for entertainment. It *IS* Mentally challenging all the same.

oh my god it's so awesome.
