The key to becoming smarter is to keep your brain active by reading books (we recommend using an ebook reader app), listening to audiobooks, and learning about many topics by reading encyclopedias or keeping up with the news. And, as you read more, you will be exposed to new words which will help you expand your vocabulary too. Having a dictionary tool handy will help you learn the meaning of new words and get you on the path to becoming super intelligent.

When exposed to new information, it is vital to focus on the material at hand, so your brain can absorb the information quickly. Methods for improving concentration, such as listening to classical music while studying, have been proven to reduce stress levels and improve memory, so you can focus better and learn faster. Getting enough rest is also important so your brain is always fresh and ready to learn new information. So, make sure you get enough hours of sleep at night or schedule a quick power nap using a time tracker, and start learning effectively and efficiently.

While some people can naturally have a better memory than others, there are some techniques you can use to improve your memory skills. For example, writing down things on sticky notes can help your brain remember things you would otherwise forget. Memory building games are also a great tool as they train your brain to retain information.
