Would you like to be smarter? Do you realize that intelligence needs to be nurtured all the time? Research shows that our reactions to everyday situations and the work we do have a strong impact on our mental image. You can increase this with the simple habits below. Here are 10 things you can do every day to become smarter.
10 things you can do every day to become smarter:
1. Use your online research time wisely
Instead of browsing online social networks, use your time wisely and take an online course or watch one of the most popular TED talks.
2. Smart people write
Experts advise that you express yourself in writing for a few minutes a day. "Describe what you've learned in 400 words a day," suggests yoga teacher Claudia Azula Altucher. This will make it easier for you to remember what you have learned.
3. In addition to the to-do list, make a to-do list!
A big part of intelligence is happiness and confidence. You can strengthen these emotions by writing down on a piece of paper, in addition to the things you have to do, the tasks you have already done during the day.

4. Drag the Scrabble game onto the plan
Board and puzzle games are not only fun, they are also a great way to train our brain. Come on, how about playing cards, playing Scrabble or playing chess?
5. Are your friends, acquaintances and colleagues intelligent?
This can be quite embarrassing for your self-esteem, but what if hanging out with more intelligent people is another great and fastest way to learn.
6. Read, read, read...
It sounds quite cliché, but reading is really key in enhancing intelligence. Opinions about what specifically has the best effect on our intelligence are quite divided, but all experts generally agree that it is the quantity that matters.
7. Explain
"If you can't explain something simply, then you don't understand it well enough," said Albert Einstein. Check that you have remembered the matter correctly and make sure that you can easily explain it to a friend next time.
8. Try doing random new things
"You never know when something can come in handy." Always try to do new, unknown things, and monitor when you can capitalize on new knowledge and experience.
9. What if you tried learning a new language?
No, you don't have to speak fast and perfectly fluently. It is important to train the brain. There are many websites where you can learn a foreign language completely free of charge.
10. Take a break
Make room for your brain to process all the data it receives daily. Dedicate some time to the exercise that suits you best, whether it's yoga, a walk in nature, running, cycling or something else.
