How do you stay sharp mentally?

[semtex]

I've been out of college since 2014 and been working as a software engineer since. Even though I have to use my brain a ton on the job, I still feel the need to exercise my mind in other ways because I feel like monotony dulls the brain. For example, I've noticed since I've been out of college that I make more typos and grammatical errors than i did before and sometimes have trouble thinking on my feet

How do y'all exercise your mind?

reading more books and staying away from cellphones is going to help with your spelling and being sharper. The spelling thing mainly derives from having auto correct on your phone

Read often, take online classes to learn new skills

i make it a thing to learn a new subject(within field) every 3-4 months

i know you lift, but making use of your muscles through sports or making a game out of it also keeps you quick.

This is basically the republican strategy....
1) Find what the democratic stance on something is
2) argue against it no matter how illogical it sounds
3)

Only bust a nut just before you fall asleep. Idc if you're wacking it or beating a chick up, your body needs immediate rest after ejaculation.

Politics and debate.

Seriously.


I have a tendency to get complacent and if there is no motivation or antagonist pushing me to go farther, I tend to chill and play life by ear. I have to regularly challenge myself or find some sort of opposition to keep my edge sharp, hence debating on a semi frequent basis. And with Politics, there is no shortage of opponents and topics to cover. There is a reason why highly driven and competitive people wind up in that arena in life.
