When you hit your 40s, it’s important to keep your mind sharp. To help, I begin each day by playing a series of brain games like asking myself, “Where did I put my keys?” and “Why did I walk in here?”

Try harder Dough, try this: How do you perceive life, death, impermanence, suffering, dissatisfaction, cause and effect?

When you turn 60, new levels of this game emerge. You’re gonna love it.

Great start, but remember, It is essential to increase the number of brain games played to twice a day in your 50s, working up to 3 times a day and twice a night as you hit your 60s.

Another favourite of mine: “Where do I know this person - whose name I can’t remember but I’ve met at least a dozen times - from?”

I bought a notebook to “help me out” at 61. I have no idea where that thing is!

That’s rookie level stuff! Go for the hard mode with “Why did I marry this person?!” 😂

Not have every word or name on the tip of your tongue is the most unsettling part. Why can’t I remember this obscure character name from LOTR mid conversation anymore?
