According to the article, studying slightly different subjects from the one you want to learn makes your brain work harder to store the original information.
For optimal brain gain, take regular small tea breaks. Sip small quantity for optimum brain activity.
More impressive the information the easier it is to learn than others. So find impressiveness in the things you want to learn.
Learning new things actually strengthens your brain — especially when you believe you can learn new things. It's a virtuous circle: When you think you're getting smarter(that is thinking positive), you study harder, making more nerve-cell connections, which in turn makes you ... smarter
With "Do the Right Drugs" wired is talking about drugs but i'll say eat green vegetables, eat right.
