There are many ways to retain our memory and enhance
our brain performance. For success people, take good
care our brain is one of the secrets to being successful
in what we do and achieve the goals in life. It is essential
to ensure our performance on the track, and we took
action to produce better results in life. There are a few
ways to enhance your engagement and produce
excellent results, which are:
The 2 minutes hack
For anything that takes less than 2 minutes, do not even
let the thought of doing later take over your mind. Our
mind of the tricks us by overestimating the amount of
time and energy that doing a simple task would take.
Example – small stuff like keeping things in place and
switching things off. Tell yourself that this will take next
to no time and do it immediately.
The 5-minute rule
I first heard this in a talk by Mel Robbins. When your
mind tells you to put it off for later – count backwards

from 5 to 0, and stand up. Get up and immediately and
force yourself to do the task.
It will get much easier once you get into the habit of
gaining small victories over your mind. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – do
not think about anything else and just get up, and do
not let yourself think about anything else that moment.
Example – going for a week, cleaning your room.
The beginning is hard, doing it is easy
Doing things like cleaning up, working out, writing,
studying etc. is not that hard. Starting the task is much
harder than the actual process of doing the job. Getting
yourself to go to the gym is a half battle, getting started
is what’s hardest. But often, the motivation kicks in
only after you start doing something, instead of
procrastinating. So even without motivation- just force
yourself to do the bare minimum of the task, tell
yourself that you will try doing it just for a few minutes
first, after that if you still do not feel like doing it, you
will stop. In all likelihood, you will feel like continuing
once you start as you would have built up some
momentum by then by doing the hardest part (starting).
