The human brain is a complex and amazing organ. On the other hand, it can also be our own worst enemy. Burnout, anxiety, and stress are all common mental pitfalls we all face from time to time.

Your brain needs constant care and attention to stay healthy, productive, and happy. A healthy mind is important for leading a fulfilling life. That’s why taking care of your mind should be an active process. Neglecting your mental health can have devastating effects on your life in the long term.

Mental health is as important as physical health. These tools can help you improve intelligence, mental clarity, reduce stress and minimise burnout.

And remember what Bruce Lee said when you start experimenting with any tool for mental clarity, “absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own.

  1. A clear habit journal or the Intelligent Change Journal — For self-reflection, setting goals, mindful notes, thinking on paper, daily highlights or whatever is on your mind.
  2. Uptime — Lessons from great books, courses, documentaries, etc.
  3. Refind — Links to make you smarter, tailored to your interests.
