If you are under the age of 25, you have hit the neurological lottery. Right now, your brain is at absolute peak neuroplasticity, which means the habits you build right now are not temporary. These habits are going to follow you for the rest of your life. The horrifying part about this is if you're waking up late every single day,

spending the first hour of the day on your phone, never exercising, never learning anything new, all of these habits are being permanently hardwired into your neurology. And after your mid-20s, that wiring becomes dramatically harder to change. Look at people in their 50s, 60s, or 70s. They get a new phone or computer and they can't figure out basic functions that a four-year-old would pick up in minutes.

And this isn't because they're stupid. This is because their brain has lost the ability to form new pathways fast enough to keep up with the rapidly changing world. And this is exactly what we are trying to prevent. So in order to keep that plasticity alive, number one, aerobic exercises every single day. Get seven to nine hours of sleep.

Continue to learn hard skills like language and instrument coding and fueling your brain correctly like eating leafy greens, fish, nuts, or whole foods. And if you do this consistently, that neuroplasticity window is going to stay open instead of crystallizing in your early 20s.
