Maybe you can work on things that involves thinking so it would help stimulate your brain, which helps you think faster. Meditation is actually pretty good because your mind becomes relax and it takes your mind off everything. You can also try focus on the elimination of distraction and not to think or worry about too many things once. Taking the mind off ease is a good thing. I alsoI think time management is kind of important so you have consistency in concentration.

There is some sort of program that I saw on an infomercial that increases your level of intelligence, helps you read faster, and helps you concentrate. I think it was called, Eye Q.

Try reading a few very diffrent books in a short period of time almost simultaniously.
10 mins. a Novel
10 mins. a Mathematics book
10 mins. a Biology book
10 mins. a Psychology book
10 mins. a Comic book
10 mins. a Business book
When finish this cycle start over and pick up from where you left in each book.
Doing this will tickle diffrent parts of you're brain and you'll when you're on a move once you begin to see connections with the diffrent topics in the book.
For variation:
Get two other people and play with one of them checkers and with the other chess simultaniously.

Keeping busy and doing a wide variety of mental tasks. Physical exercise helps the blood circulation to the brain.

The brain is like your muscles. It need exercise.
Things to do MORE of:
Sudoku
Crossword Puzzles
Reading
Journalling (try to incorporate good spelling and good grammar, otherwise it's worse than being a Myspace junkie)
Things to do LESS of:
TV
computer games
Myspace
Chatting
You need to think of yourself more as a scientist in training and less as just another kid.
