Take Notes
Find a small note book or application in your personal tablet that let you quickly write or scribble things down and take it with you anywhere. It helps you planning out your day and managing things easier. You can write down your appointments, places that you will go, and contact information of your friends and colleagues or even their birthdays. Moreover, you can jot down all your great ideas, inspiration, and quotes of the day.

Stick small pieces of paper that contain your notes on a bedroom door, on a mirror in a restroom, on a fridge, in a car, etc. It is the way to remind and stimulate your brain to memorize what on the notes.  


Talk To Yourself

In the morning when you wake up, think about the plan of the day and say it out loud what you will do, where you will go, who you will meet, and what the goals of the day are. It will be like an audio reminder that reminds yourself. It is the morning exercise for your brain.


Slow Down Your Action And Fast-Paced Life

BEDTIME MILK



Milk is...

2. Drinking milk can make you get a good night sleep...
Because there is a high level of protein in milk that is called “Tryptophan”, this protein will be converted into what we called, Melatonin. It helps you getting a full quality sleep. Of cause when you get a good night sleep, your brain will be put into a relaxation mode as well. So, that is the time when your brain leave all your stress behind.

Therefore, drinking milk can provide that part of calcium to the blood and help maintaining your bone to stay strong. Importantly, calcium that you are taken into your body before bedtime, it is absorbed and remained in your bloodstream during the night.

TIP: Drink a glass of warm milk 1 hour before bedtime for your healthier mind and body.
