I think treating your mind like a muscle much like in body building you constantly need to push yourself to stop from reaching a plateau.
Food and exercise as mentioned above are also very important - making sure you get enough fuel for the brain. Exercising will improve oxygen to the brain as well as having enough iron in your diet (creates red blood cells to carry the oxygen in your blood stream). Keep you diet balanced, eating from a wide variety of sources. Also eating smaller but more regular will help reduce your stomach using too much oxygen (particular after a huge meal).
I'm also interested in your speed reading and would love to learn how to do it. Has there been any particular book, software, or tool that has stood out?
