Why Did I Put Together This Web Site?
The reason I put together this web site is very simple. I recently entered the 50+ year old bracket and have noticed that my mind is not as sharp as it used to be.
While this is normal, a friend who recently turned 40 has noticed the same thing (and he has a better mind than mine!), I decided to put together a number of mental exercises to keep my mind alert, sharp and active.
The areas of concern for me were:
- memory: I wanted to improve my ability to remember new things and to do
it quickly,
- observation: I wanted to improve my powers of observation. I noticed that
I got into the habit of looking but not seeing,
- stimulation: I wanted to expose my mind to new, fun and interesting things
(articles, sayings, how to videos, news items not found in newspapers, photos of
places I have never seen, and so on . . . ). This would give me new things to think
about and it would keep my mind active by maintaining (and developing) new
interests,
- information manipulation: I wanted my mind to do more than just the usual
things I do every day. For example, as a High School teacher, I learnt how to write
'up side down and back to front' in order to help students with their Maths exercises.
While it is not a skill I use now, the point is that the mind is capable of doing much more than what we do with
it every day. I wanted to explore that by getting my mind to do 'unusual'
things,
- using mental pictures: research has found that the mind thinks in pictures
and that it works best when we deal with pictures. I wanted to be able to develop
my imagination to the extent that I would be able to 'see' things in
pictures,
- listen better: I wanted to be able to listen and not just hear. Somehow,
over the years, I took the easy road of hearing and not listening,
- engage my mind: I wanted my mind to become more engaged when reading,
seeing, listening, . . . Believe it or not, I found that my mind had become passive
when engaged in my daily activities. I wanted it to become actively involved once
again . . . just as it did when I was younger,
- peripheral vision: I wanted to improve my peripheral vision. I found that
as I got older, I developed what is called 'tunnel vision'. In other words, I would
only see what I was looking at and not seeing much else from the corner of my eye
(which is called peripheral vision).
I have also known for some time that I struggle to do mental arithmetic. So, I did some thinking and reading and put together a number of mental arithmetic exercises together with the secrets of how to do certain mental calculations.
In case you are wondering, I have put together some short videos on mental arithmetic. You can view those at YouTube or at Yahoo Videos (the videos at both sites are exactly the same).
Mental 'Games'
I have also added 30+ mentally engaging mental games to the members area. These mental games have been specifically selected to help with concentration, information processing, memory, . . .
Some of the mental games are: crosswords, sudoku, chess, backgammon, memory game, tetris, millionaire quizz, and lots more . . .
While it is true that you can find these mental games at other web sites on the Internet, I have put them all together in one location for convenience.

I have put together 50+ fun and engaging mental exercises (and games). All for a low monthly fee.

Please don't think that these exercises are only of value to older folks such
as myself. The reality is that we all have a brain that is not used to its full potential.
My mental exercises will help you develop and maintain new mental
skills such as mental
arithmetic (if you are currently not good at it).

I Make No Promises, But...
I am sure that you will understand that I cannot make any promises about how well my mental exercises will work for you as there are things I cannot control (how often you do them, whether you engage your mind 100% when you do them, . . . ) but I can say that, my mind is no different to yours and if these exercises help me, then they will help you too - provided you do them regularly and that you engage your mind 100% when you do them.
Let me share with you 2 success examples:
- having worked out how to do certain mental
arithmetic calculations, I now have a lot of fun at traffic lights multiplying the 3-digit numbers of
our number plates by 5, dividing them by 5, multiplying the first 2 digits by the 3rd
one, multiplying the last 2 digits by the first one. These are mental
exercises
I was not able to do prior to my putting together this web site,
- in my daily newspaper, there is a mental exercise that I have 'forced'
myself to do. It lists 4 words that have had their letters mixed up. The trick
is to rearrange the letters to make up the word. For example, DOSUXE. At first, I
found it almost impossible to do.
Having 'forced' myself to do these exercises over a few weeks, I find that now there are some words I can the answers to in the blink of an eye (while there are still some words I can't workout).
But for me, the fact that I can get the answers for some of them quickly is a huge improvement. I also found that with a bit of concentration, I could mentally move the letters around to try new letter combinations as I searched for the answer.
As a result of this simple exercise (which I have reproduced in my members area), I find that my memory and powers of observation have improved. (If you are wondering what the answer to DOSUXE is, then click here).

The message is "You two can have an alert and sharp mind". This was done by removing all the vowels from the sentence. I understand that this is how old Hebrew was written. It's always easy when you know how ! If you rearrange the letters in DOSUXE, you will get EXODUS. Directories
