Continuously learn new skills. Unlike a computer, your brain can adapt and adjust. Thus if you religiously learn new skills and do novel activities, it can learn how to learn… making the process of memorizing far easier! Unfortunately, of course, people stop learning as soon as they leave college… and the older generation tend to view learning as wasting time because they felt they’ve reached the end of the road.

The holidays are long gone. New Year’s resolutions are long forgotten. And we are once again lamenting that those “extra ten pounds” just won’t go away.
