THE GET SMARTER GUIDE

Saturday

Brush your teeth with your ‘wrong’ hand and take a shower with your eyes closed.

Do the crossword or Sudoku puzzle in your Sunday paper and take a brisk walk.

Monday

Have oily fish for dinner, and either cycle, walk or take the bus into work.

Tuesday

Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into conversations.

Wednesday

Go to yoga, Pilates or a meditation class, and talk to someone you don’t know.

Thursday

Take a different route to work; watch Countdown or Brainteaser.

Avoid caffeine or alcohol; memorise your shopping list.

Follow this and see what you can do. My wife and I have played the Sudoku game a couple times. It is fun.
