Chaos and clutter are the two biggest enemies of your peace of mind. They keep stress levels high and divert your energy and attention in various directions, making you anxious, worried, and overwhelmed.

A little effort spent organizing and planning your work goes a long way in streamlining your life and drastically reducing everyday stress.

2. They learn new things

Exposing yourself to the unfamiliar and allowing your mind to experience different scenarios, circumstances, and new stimuli help to rewire your brain and train it to internalize new things and accept challenges.

Consciously devote time to learning new things, whether developing a new hobby, learning a language, or honing a new skill.

Any challenging new activity stimulates your brain to form new connections. This is called neuroplasticity which helps in the faster transmission of impulses in the brain. Hence, the more you stimulate your mind, the stronger the connections will build, and your brain will be sharper.

4. They take a good night’s sleep

Everyone knows that lack of sleep tires the brain affects its working, and leads to poor memory. Yet, many continue to deprive themselves of sleep, pushing themselves to the edge by pumping caffeine into their system with the hope that they can work endlessly and achieve their peak productivity.

Nothing can be further from the truth.

An awake but exhausted brain won’t work to even half its capacity. On the contrary, it will slow you down, and you’ll make more mistakes when you work with a tired mind.

The brain functions best and has better memory and cognitive ability when rested and refreshed.

It is, therefore, advocated to get 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep during the night to feel rejuvenated and alert in the morning. People who follow a regular sleep schedule are less likely to feel lethargic and work more actively, with greater energy and enthusiasm.

5. They do journaling

Pour down your thoughts on a piece of paper. It can help you in various ways: it unburdens your mind, clarifies your thoughts, and keeps your brain working well.

When you give vent to your pent-up thoughts and feelings, you reduce mental fatigue and are in a better position to address and sort out your issues and fix problems.

Journaling also relieves your fear and anxiety, decreasing stress and tension in your mind. You feel light and can think straight and figure a way forward instead of feeling stuck.

6. They observe more

People who unlock their full potential have a keen sense of observation. They are fully present in the moment and are mindful of what they see around them with the intent of gaining knowledge and information.

Seeing things closely and viewing them to know how they work helps you gain insight and increases your analytical ability, and allows your brain to remain sharp.

Also, when you observe things with all your attention, you can monitor them carefully and mentally record them for recollection later on. This enables you to understand and appreciate various perspectives of things and make better decisions.

7. They keep their brain active

As your body requires a regular workout, the brain also needs exercise. A habit of reading, meaningfully engaging yourself with mind puzzles, cognitive training, and seizing opportunities to challenge yourself is helpful for your brain’s proper functioning and effectiveness.

To tap your brain’s full potential, regularly exert mental effort and practice brain stimulation activities. This increases mental sharpness and concentration.

Also keenly participate in creativity like art and craftwork, painting, and other activities. Exercising your brain increases the formation of new connections between the brain cells, improving memory and the power of focus.

8. They deal with stress

Many feel drained and forgetful due to the continuous work pressure they experience day-in and day-out. As a result, they just get by, managing only day-to-day activities and using a tiny bit of their brain power.

Stress is a part of your life, but worse is that people have not only accepted it as a necessary evil but also surrendered to it.

Although there’s no denying the presence of stress, there’s a way to deal with it so that it stops being a limiting factor in your path to productivity and success.

People who want the maximum output from their brains are careful and don’t overwork themselves or spread themselves too thin.

They consciously take breaks and give themselves time to unwind. They follow a healthy routine and regularly socialize with friends and members of the support group to maintain their mental balance and sanity.
