Logic is the art of recoding – finding an ordinarily sequence for disparate elements.
The following exercise/activities will awaken the inherently logical being inside you.
Don’t use a list when shopping. Instead, invent a system to take the place of the list. Use memory aids, such as formatting a complete word or one that can be completed by adding a certain vowel or constant from the first letters of the words for the things you need to buy. Or, you can classify foods into raw and cooked. Or, use any other system that works for you.
All games involve logical activities. Card games such as pinochle and bridge or board games of strategy such as chess or checkers are good choices. So are crossword puzzles, anagrams and other word games. Avoid playing the same games all the time. Chess players might switch to solitaire, while bridge players might play whist or hearts.
Playing the same game all the time leads to routine, which is the opposite of activation. The same cerebral circuits and neuronal regions are constantly used and everything else remains unused. Fine new to you and find new playing-partners for old and new games and activates.
