The best way to use the maximum potential of your supercomputer is to avoid passive Entertainment!
Look at the top minds of the world and look at how much TV they consume, how many hours they play Video games, watch YouTube videos or do anything similar. You will see that the best of the best spend far less time consuming anything passively.
If they entertain themselves at all then they do so for a reason whereas most of the world tries to entertain themselves just to get by.
We spend 50 minutes on Facebook and spend 4 hours in front of the TV every single day and then wonder why our minds aren’t sharp anymore.
Mindless consumption slows down our minds because we do not think. Just like a muscle that isn’t used we do not use our brain and do not train it, and, at the end of the day, we have not done anything to make our minds stronger or more effective.
When you go into a state of mindless consumption your mind slows down further than when you are sleeping and you train it to stay that way.
However, when you go into it with an intention then you are activating your mind and you can learn, improve and use the situation to your own advantage. But for that you have to be intentional.
This doesn’t mean that you need to stop consuming or entertaining yourself entirely, but just that you do not do it passively.
When you are watching TV, do so with the Intention to give your mind a break. Set a time-limit and then move to other things.
When you are on Facebook, be there with the intention of checking up on your friends and family and then leave the page.
And when you are consuming YouTube videos do so with a reason in mind as well else you will find yourself 6 hours down the line still watching random crap.
If you want to make your mind sharper, faster and more effective then you have to start using it!
Train it by being intentional with the things you do, by only doing things that improve your life and by actively constructing your day to give you the utmost value.
Give everything you do your fullest attention and “Work hard and play harder”!
