How do you keep your mind challenged?

[Canteverdecide]

I find my days a bit repetitive sometimes anf have a tendency to fall into my comfort zone and not challenge myself much. With my job and the fact that I have a small DC, I am finding it harder and harder to focus sometimes and notice I have a short attention span. I wonder if it could be linked to me not challenging/training my mind much anymore these days. Keen to hear what others do to stay on top of this.

I spend a few minutes on Duolingo. I started with Ukrainian but enjoy Welsh most and am sticking to that at the moment. Irish Gaelic, Latin, Esperanto, Higher valerian or something, German, French and very basic maths to keep my streak up. I'm on 842 days as my longest streak. There's music on there too. Keeps my brain engaged as I find Welsh challenging.

I do sudoku in our paper on the weekends, it's much more difficult than the apps.

I play piano.

I learn a language, intermittently.

I read about the stock market.

I swear I'm great fun in real life 😂
