Optimize health.
from High Performance Habits: How Extraordinary People Become That Way by Brendon Burchard
Exercising increases the production of BDNF—brain-derived neurotrophic factor, that causes neurons to grow. As a result, it increases your ability to learn faster, remember more, increase concentration, and improves overall brain function. Physical activity reduces stress which significantly decreases mental performance. A healthy diet and rest time increase your energy level and set up a positive frame of mind.
