Step 23: Learn Something New

You have to continue learning new things to also continue producing new
neurons in your brain. These cells ensure higher function of the brain, but once
you deliberately reduce what you learn (you cannot stop learning completely),
the neurons also get less reasons to repair themselves. The biological adaptation
of the brain is messed up. Don't old people who regularly think harder also
maintain sharper memory through the years?

Do not stop learning even if you think you do not have to. Read newspapers or
magazines for random information. Learn new recipes or DIY guides. As much
as possible, also hone your mathematical acumen by computing manually as
often as possible. Do not rely too much on instant information that you can
gather from the internet. You also have to store whatever you can in your
coconut shell bank.
