What are some ways to boost mental stamina?

Question

With age, I tend to become mentally exhausted fairly quickly. Even after reading a few pages of a book.

What can I do to boost this?

Answer 1

Do puzzles and jumbles or answer some of these Yahoo! questions.

Answer 2

uhm based on psychology.
you can use these two methods:

1) just keep repeating till remembered (hard way)
2) make it meaningful. which is what i do lol.

like how i remember short term memory last 18 sec.
i thought about my friend.
she is short.
she is turning 18 tah dah! haha.

also i had the same problem.
and my teacher told me to just read for a while.
go on your way and just la di da
then read again.


or



you can time yourself like your under pressure and doing last minute studying.

be like "ok 5 min. to remember this page!"
you really end up scanning over it.
trying to remember key facts.
which is great :D
