24 Daily Habits that Will Boost Your Intelligence (Part 1): How to Be Productive & Entertain Yourself

BERITA BPK PENABUR JAKARTA - 21 February 2024

Hi guys! Have you ever felt it hard to start your day? Maybe because you’re exhausted from school or doing some assignments? Sure, going to school in PENABUR can be exhausting sometimes, and we find it hard to start our day. Here are 6 habits that can help you start your day and be productive each day, and also how to entertain yourself so you won’t be stressed with just school life.

One way to be productive every day is to come up with interesting ideas every day. Ideas that we come up with every day can make us even more productive. Try to come up with at least 10 ideas every day, and we can sometimes make them interesting and fun to do. Another thing to do is to follow your questions. Those ideas that we come up with every day can be in the form of questions. Questions are a symbol of curiosity, if we are curious about something, we’re eager to learn about that we’re curious about.

We can also watch or play some games that we can learn something from. For example, we can play “Devil’s Advocate”. Now, the name of the game is much scarier than it seems. Devil’s Advocate is a game based on the popular, Kickstarted party game. Players take turns trying to convince and ultimately guess what people's opinions on certain topics are. This is an interesting game to play with friends and family, and it can be quite challenging to guess what people think about certain topics. Not only that, we can also learn new things about certain topics that we didn’t know before, and it can enrich our minds. We can also watch some educational videos. Videos provide a way for learners to see and hear information more dynamically and engagingly than traditional text-based materials. They can also help learners retain information more effectively, and so that we don’t get bored easily.

Being productive every day is definitely a good thing. However, if we do too much, we can get burnt out. To balance it all, we can do some entertaining things to relax our mind. For example, we can read a book or novel. Reading books can be a way for our minds to take a break, and so that we don’t stress out too much. Or another way if you don’t like reading books that are in the fiction world, we can instead read a newspaper to see what interesting things are happening in the world.

“You can’t get much done in life if you only work on days when you feel good.” - Jerry West
