I recommend practicing memory palace techniques if you really want a brain work out. Storing sets of information, retrieving them, and replacing them is intensely exhausting. You know you're getting a brain work out. I try and memorize one deck of cards every day at a minimum. After a bit of practice, you'll have laser focus. Not so sure about whether this promotes neurogenesis though. Does anybody have any resources on this?
I don’t, but please tell us more about the spillover effects based on your subjective experience. This sounds like something I would try but I’d like to hear more.
Prime factoring of license plate numbers before the car exits or otherwise gets out of view. Good way to exercise brain... and get in a wreck. (You'll grow to hate those occasional plates from states with 5 digit numbers.)
