Strum A Guitar
I had an ambitious college roommate. In the mornings, whenever he needed to gear up his mind for a test or presentation, he would get out his guitar and strum wildly. It wasn’t erratic chaos, but rather a quick rhythm with a high BPM count. For example, he wouldn’t fingerpick What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, rather he would shred something active by Mumford and Sons. From under the warm covers of the top bunk, I cried out to him why he does this. He told me it helps speed his brain up and think at a faster rate. He had top grades.
