Don’t talk too much
If you’re lucky, brain fog will attack when you’re blocking someone from the coffee machine. They will startle you when they ask you to move aside and apologize for frightening you.
Don’t come clean. Smile graciously and make a joke about the funny weather you’ve been having.

5 Tips To Create An Evening Routine For Great Sleep
Make "power down" time a priority
Shut down those activities that stimulate your mind, such as work, emails, internet browsing and even watching TV.
Try reading a book,
Try a brain dump
Dump it all out. Write some lists, or simply use the "worry diary" technique and jot down all of the things you’re stressing about.
Do this before your "power down" time. This helps your mind let these things go. Once they're written down, you can relax; there's no chance you'll forget them.
Eat, drink and move mindfully
If you’re experiencing sleeping problems:
- Cut back on caffeine (particularly after midday).
- Avoid eating a particularly heavy meal late in the evening.
- Meditation and supplements can also affect sleep so it’s best to get educated about what you’re taking.
- Intense exercise late at night isn't recommended.

Brain Dumping: Free Flow
To put a chaotic mind to rest, one can simply grab a pen and piece of paper and start writing everything that is on one’s mind for 15 to 20 minutes.
It can be about your current problems, or your routine and all the stuff that is making you feel stuck. The rules are:
- Don’t stop writing for more than a few seconds.
- Don’t delete or rephrase anything.
- Use a time limit and avoid any directionless thinking.
Brain Dumping: Goal Focused
Plan for the next day by:
- Note down the top three priorities of the month.
- Divide the sheet into two and jot down the accomplished tasks that helped in the goals, on the left.
- On the right side, note down the tasks that were not useful.
- Do the tasks that take two minutes or less, then do the urgent and important tasks.
- The rest of the tasks can either be eliminated, postponed, or delegated.
- One can review the same at the end of every week to divide the goals into the various areas of your life.

Pursed lip breathing
- While keeping your mouth closed, take a deep breath in through your nose, counting to 2. The breath does not have to be deep.
- Put your lips together as if you are starting to whistle or blow out candles on a birthday cake. This is known as “pursing” your lips.
- While continuing to keep your lips pursed, slowly breathe out by counting to 4. Don’t try to force the air out, but instead breathe out slowly through your mouth.
Pursed lip breathing benefits:
- It’s been shown to reduce how hard a person has to work to breathe.
- It helps release air trapped in the lungs.
- It promotes relaxation.
- It reduces shortness of breath.
Practice it 4 to 5 times per day, daily.
Pursed lip breathing is best for performing strenuous activities, such as climbing stairs.
