One of the prerequisites for achieving certain success in a career is high performance. The ability to concentrate attention, memorize large amounts of information and quickly delve into the essence of the matter is not only possible, but also necessary to learn.
Instructions
Step 1
Observe the regime. If you want to improve your memory and make your intellectual activity more efficient, then the first thing you should pay attention to is healthy sleep. The fact is that it is during sleep that the brain cells are restored, as well as its kind of "reboot". It is not surprising that those who stay up late and get up early have a reduced ability to concentrate on any information and quickly perceive it.
Step 2
Don't forget to take breaks. Think of school: 45 minutes of lesson, then 15 minutes of break. Try to implement this principle in work, study, and other activities. If you find it difficult to concentrate on one lesson for 40-50 minutes, then you should slightly change the "schedule". For example, take a 10 minute break every half hour. After 4-5 cycles it is necessary to take an hour's time-out. If possible, get out into the fresh air and take a walk.
Step 3
Eat a smart diet. A complete diet is an important factor contributing to successful intellectual activity. Try to avoid fast food and constant snacks in favor of proper nutrition. Your menu must include foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, seafood, kiwi, nuts. Don't forget about protein and carbohydrates: eat lean meats, eggs, dairy products, and whole grain breads and cereals. And vitamins will provide the body with seasonal berries, fruits, vegetables.
Step 4
Train your memory. For example, by memorizing a small passage of text every day. However, there is no need to "cram" it, ignoring the meaning. First, read the lines several times, try to imagine the described picture, pick up associations. Then write the text out loud in your own words. Return to the passage during the day and try to memorize it in the evening.
Step 5
Perceive information visually. Mental photography is a great exercise for those looking to improve their brain function. Hold your gaze on an object for a few seconds. Then close your eyes and try to recreate the object in your imagination. The “photo” should be as detailed as possible: color, shape, texture, decorative elements, even cracks or dust - strive for maximum similarity. It is worth starting with the simplest household items, such as a hairbrush or a cup. Gradually complicate the tasks, trying to create mental portraits of acquaintances or even just passers-by on the street.
