This is Radley. She needs extra mental stimulation sometimes, so her family started "structured destruction" after a recommendation from her trainer, and it quickly became one of her favorite pastimes. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10

Our devices are changing how we use our brains. Dr. Arthur Brooks makes a compelling point that constant device use fills every open moment with stimulation, and that may come at the expense of reflection, meaning, and self-understanding. Boredom feels uncomfortable, but it also gives the brain space to wander. And that mind-wandering state is linked to the default mode network, which plays an important role in self-reflection. So when every quiet moment gets filled with a screen, we lose the mental space where meaning gets made. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do for your brain is stop reaching for stimulation.

If you live in a northern climate or are simply dealing with winter weather conditions that keep your chickens from free ranging, this is an easy way to add enrichment and warmth to your run. A simple hay bale turns into a foraging activity when you mix scratch grains and mealworms into it. Your chickens get mental stimulation, movement, and on freezing days, extra insulation from the cold ground! Credit: citylife_tofarmlife

My Grandma has dementia it helps her lots when I go to visit. Today we have been practicing big paw,my grandma forgot about big paw at first but remembered as we practiced it’s great for her to play games and practice things. We also spend a lot of time chatting to each other as it’s really good mental stimulation for her. She always remembers my name and she loves to feed to me Gravy Bones. I love my Grandma ❤️❤️ My Pals Ralf Bat 🦇 Dog & Margo (Moo) are doing a sponsored walk in aid of dementia maybe you could sponsor them ❤️❤️❤️

A reported 400% rise in early-onset dementia diagnoses among 35–45 year olds in Australia. Neuroscientist Dr. Mark Williams linked it on 9 News Australia to sharply increased daily screen time. He also noted the first generational decline in intelligence levels in history, partly blamed on modern device habits. The brain is highly plastic. Research shows that reducing constant screen stimulation and increasing deep focus activities (reading, real conversations, etc.) can strengthen attention, memory, and cognitive reserve. Williams says simple changes — more time with people, reading books, and less scrolling — can help support brain health. Our everyday tech habits may be shaping long-term brain health more than we realize. Many people report noticeably better focus and mental clarity when they cut back on screens. What do you think — have you noticed any difference in your thinking or memory with heavier screen use, or do you think this connection needs more research?

20,000 people deliberately introduced boredom into their lives and generated 41% more breakthrough insights within one week. Yes, Dr. Manoush Zomorodi demonstrated what neuroscientists long suspected: "deliberate boredom boosts creative output and strengthens the brain’s capacity for original thinking." In that study, 20,000 participants added periods of unstimulated time to their routines, and experienced 41% more creative breakthrough moments within seven days. Your default mode network operates like a background processor that only runs when conscious attention stops demanding resources. During unstimulated moments, this network begins cross referencing every memory, skill, and experience you've accumulated, hunting for patterns your focused mind missed. The insights we call "creativity" are actually sophisticated pattern recognition happening below conscious awareness. Modern humans have accidentally trained themselves to interrupt this process every time it begins. The average person checks their phone 96 times per day. Every notification, every scroll, every background podcast cuts the neural pattern matching short before it completes. We've created a civilization where the mental state required for original thinking gets treated like an emergency that needs immediate correction. Watch people in waiting rooms, elevators, or checkout lines. The moment external stimulation drops below a certain threshold, hands automatically reach for phones. The discomfort they're avoiding is literally their brain attempting to do the background processing that produces breakthrough insights. Evolutionary biologists argue boredom developed as a survival mechanism. Animals that could sit unstimulated and let their minds wander were more likely to notice environmental changes, recognize new food sources, and develop innovative hunting strategies. Boredom forced our ancestors into the mental state where novel solutions emerge from existing knowledge. We've pathologized our most important cognitive function. The corporate world talks endlessly about innovation while designing work environments that make innovation neurologically impossible. Open offices with constant interruption. Back to back meetings with no processing time. Performance metrics that reward immediate output over deep thinking. Then companies spend millions on creativity consultants and innovation workshops, trying to artificially recreate what the human brain does naturally during sustained boredom. Participants in Zomorodi’s study generated more ideas and also described a welcome shift: during quiet, unstimulated moments, answers to long-running challenges often came into clear focus. With fewer distractions, their brains kept working on the underlying patterns and had the space to bring that recognition to completion. The quality gap between stimulated and unstimulated thinking becomes stark when you map it against major discoveries. The pattern repeats across every domain: breakthrough insights emerge during mental downtime, not during intense focus. Modern neuroscience explains why. The default mode network draws connections between brain regions that don't communicate during focused attention. Areas responsible for memory, emotion, sensory processing, and abstract thinking create novel combinations only when executive control relaxes. Constant stimulation keeps executive control active, blocking the cross domain communication that generates original ideas. Silicon Valley understood this before the research proved it. Google's famous "20% time" and similar policies were more thsn just about employee satisfaction. Companies discovered that structured boredom produces more valuable innovations than structured brainstorming sessions. Engineers who spend one day per week on self directed, unstimulated projects generate patents at higher rates than those focused solely on assigned tasks. The pharmaceutical industry treats boredom as a symptom of depression and prescribes stimulants to eliminate unstimulated mental states. Meanwhile, the same industry struggles with declining innovation rates in drug discovery. The connection isn't coincidental. Educational systems double down on the same mistake. Schools pack schedules with back to back classes, eliminate recess, and assign homework that fills every unstimulated moment. Then educators wonder why creative problem solving scores have declined for three consecutive decades. Students arrive at universities neurologically unprepared for the kind of open ended thinking that produces original research. The economic implications compound across generations. Industries that depend on creative problem solving hire workforces trained to avoid the mental states where creative problem solving occurs. Then they implement productivity tools and collaborative platforms that further fragment attention and eliminate the sustained boredom where breakthrough solutions develop. Zomorodi's experiment succeeded because participants actively resisted their conditioning. They scheduled specific periods of deliberate understimulation. They sat without phones, music, or conversation. They allowed their minds to wander without redirecting attention to productive tasks. Within days, their brains remembered how to complete the background processing that constant stimulation had been interrupting. The 41% increase in creative output came from creating better conditions for creativity to flow naturally, supported by replacing unhelpful habits with more supportive ones. Most people reading this will agree intellectually but continue reaching for stimulation the moment boredom threatens. The addiction to constant input runs deeper than conscious decision making. Your brain interprets unstimulated time as a threat that requires immediate correction. But those breakthrough insights you've been waiting for are sitting in your default mode network right now. They've been trying to surface for weeks, maybe months. Every time you reach for external stimulation, you're interrupting the neural process that would deliver them. Your next original idea is one boring afternoon away. The only question is whether you'll give it the unstimulated space it needs to emerge.

Peter Attia's Longevity Routine This is everything Peter Attia does to optimize for longevity (01:06) Peter takes his sleep seriously. He's in bed from 10PM - 6AM, resulting in ~7.5 hours of shut-eye. He uses an Eight Sleep mattress cover. (01:57) Peter's pre-bed routine: Avoid stimulation, brush & floss before using the sauna, shower, then bed. (03:14) Peter's sleep supplement stack: Glycine, ashwagandha, magnesium l-threonate, & magnesium oxide. (03:38) Peter's diet: The #1 thing he pays attention to? Not eating junk. After that, it's all about energy balance & protein intake (40-50g, 4x/day). He also stops eating 3 hours before bed. (05:30) Peter acknowledges the pro-social benefits of alcohol. He has 0-7 drinks per week—but rarely >2 drinks in a day. He also does the drinking early (with dinner), so it doesn't interfere with sleep. (06:34) Peter's weekly exercise routine: 4 hours of zone 2, 1 VO2 max workout, 4 strength training sessions. (07:24) Longevity means nothing without mental health. Peter does 1-2 therapy sessions/week. He also journals regularly.
