What are you thought rituals when you want to optimise your cognitive processes when you don't have much else to do. For instance, you are walking between office buildings.
For me, I'm going to phase in the following ritual and see if it's helpful. Asking myself:
What was done effectively or what outcomes were useful today?
How might things have been improved or what different ideas do you have?
What questions arising from today might be relevant to tomorrow?
How do you feel about the process and content of your life today?
Have you been radically honest or dishonest today?
I have found that the single greatest cause of my forgetting things is being engaged in other things. So during short periods of down-time (under five minutes), I try to give over to non-directed thought. This has been very successful, and I am trying to expand it.
I practice mindfulness during these times, which seems to increase focus.
