Dual-n-back training. I can rely on this to drastically reduce anxiety, flightiness, improve concentration. It also seems to whet my appetite for intellectual work and increase purposefulness across the board. +8

Can I use this for my/the DNB FAQ?

You may do, but you might end up including me twice, as I have posted similar thoughts elsewhere, under a different name (cev).
