Do Not Use Your Phone Immediately

Modern technology, while useful, can lead to mental laziness. Try recalling information mentally before using your phone, as this strengthens your brain's neural pathways. A 2021 study by Ioannis Saridakis and Spyridon Doukakis showed that solving math puzzles mentally enhances memory. So, opt for mental calculations over using a calculator or phone for a dual benefit: improving math skills and giving your memory a mini-workout.
