A while back, I offered some suggestions for a daily training regimen to improve the mind as an alternative to Buddhist meditation. After a little experimentation, I’m ready to try one.
Pills: Omega-3, Magnesium supplements, Citicoline, Lion’s Mane extract. (Indians eat turmeric with every meal. It’s sometimes recommended as a supplement.)
Android apps:
Dominion by Temple Gates Games LLC: Daily challenge for reasoning about dynamic systems.
Logic: code breaking by Logicom Apps: Extreme difficulty for reasoning about permutations. I believe this has an offline version called Mastermind.
Lichess: Puzzle Streak. I think chess trains reasoning about ordered actions when studied in moderation.
Calcudoku by Razzle Puzzles: 9×9 for mental arithmetic and deduction.
Xiangqi Chinese Chess Online by Xiangqi.com, Inc.: Puzzles because I want variation in ordered actions instead of just training on the chess ruleset. I also play a daily game since, for some reason, Chinese Chess is the hardest game for me to wrap my head around, harder than Shogi; plus, it’s short.
