Non-Nootropic Cognitive Enhancers
Been testing non-nootropic methods of enhancing cognitive function.
- Meditation:
Been doing 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes before bed. Morning are much more focused and intentional, urges to look at my phone are more manageable. Sleep is much deeper, and so many dreams wow REM sleep is much crazier.
- No Music
This was the biggest one. I was addicted to listening to music, putting on air pods when cooking, studying, walking, hitting the gym, and even just to go to the bathroom. I think I was just trying to escape my thoughts. I become more creative and intentional with my day. Being productive is easy now, when before it felt like all my thoughts were scattered and working was impossible.
- Staring at Wall
Interesting technique. I just stare at the wall or at an outlet for 2-3 minutes whenever I feel very unfocused, or before a difficult task. Works really well surprisingly. I would recommend.
Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions.
