Just as the title says, what do you do to keep yourself mentally sharp? (good memory, quick thinking, etc)

Do you use any nootropics or anything of the sort?

Its usually for the afternoon after lunch, I take one and get shit done. Usually lasts me for a good 4-5 hours of deep work, keeps me super focused and ofc mentally sharp.

I do a good amount of caffeine, L-theanine, Ceylon cinnamon and Hericium erinaceus mushroom.
Those paired with a very antioxidant based diet make me a working machine. I can easily churn out 12+ hours of focused work daily with very little sleep.

Most definitely not healthy - can't recommend to anyone - I just happen to be a bit smooth on the brain and want to sacrifice my health for money.

I also do get nicotine in the form of cigars in the summertime. I do feel more productive after I've smoked one, but haven't made the decision yet to start taking nicotine as a nootropic - perhaps in the future.

All that is fun and all, but the best way to keep yourself mentally sharp is to just sleep well, exercising frequently and having a healthy diet.

I do nothing no cigarettes vape alcohol or weed all dumb you down mentally paralyze your lungs or hurt your stomach liver and brain. 2 cups of tea or coffee do me for the day. It's not what you do it's what you don't do.

Alpha Brain works for me. It helps me from overthinking

 

[OccultKingdoms]

Alcohol once every 4 months to reset my tolerance to caffeine.

Magnesium citrate, vitamin d3/k2, melatonin to sleep, hydroxyzine to sleep, ssri to fix extreme mood shifts, something like uhmmm zinc.

4000 calories, pizza.

Love for myself. Compassion. Positive feelings.

Therapy.

Weightlifting.

Avoiding narcotics.

Talking to people who express positive feelings.

Avoiding hate.

Not pushing too hard.

Being slow.

If something bothers me, reorganize my life over and over and over again.

Change my behavior, so it doesn't harm me in long run.

Getting rid of problems and excuses asap.

Not focusing on my weaknesses like doing Mathematical operations in my head / memorizing stuff I don't care about. Focusing on my strength like analysis and finding opportunity.

Prioritizing long term.

Go on a holiday to somewhere peaceful and quiet. No internet. Just movies, video games, books and lots of good food.

Writing a diary / putting stuff into diagrams > meditation.

This is for western world.

If you have some eastern lifestyle and have your own farm, living under the sunrays 24/7, meditation would work better but a diary wouldn't hurt.

Also, writing on BlackHatWorld increases my thought sharpness fivefold. Read some posts of top members. You're gonna get good vibes.

Replace stupid sugar (leave 10% like 10 - 20 grams a day) with some artifical sweeteners but don't forget about some other things for intestines health and microbiome. Excessive sugar causes a big thought sharpness issue.

No substances. Try meditation right after you get up in the morning to feel centered and sharp

Keeping my brain sharp involves constant learning, tackling challenging problems, and prioritising sleep. Nootropics i aint sure much about, but these methods work for me.
