Possessing the ability to think deeply puts you in a higher state of consciousness and being than the state today's typical automaton is in. You deserve to be in that state.

Some people never develop this ability in the first place. People who have this ability often lose it. Here are some pointers for solving either problem:

• Read. Do this daily, and read something of substance most of the time. Reading develops specific structures in the brain. In non-readers, those are significantly atrophied to such a degree that any competent medical examiner can distinguish brains of readers from those of non-readers. And these structures are also used in deep thinking.
   
• Prioritize. Decide what items are urgent, important, and unimportant. Do the urgent things first, then the important things. Don't bother with the unimportant things, as they just use time that you can never make up. There are only so many hours in a given lifetime. Something isn't urgent just because it's not done or just because you remember it. If you are getting important things done, rather than unimportant things, you should seldom have anything urgent come up. By weeding out the things that don't matter, your mental (and other) resources are more fully available to do what really matters.
   
• Schedule. I use Microsoft Outlook, but any calendaring program will work. Get "to do" things off your mind by putting them into your calendar. When the reminder comes up, then you can focus on that particular task. You can also search ahead on tasks you have already scheduled if you have some extra time, or you can defer tasks by just moving the appointment.
   
• Focus. At least once a day, set aside a block of time to do just one thing. Take no phone calls, answer no e-mails. I do this in half-hour blocks. I could do it in much longer blocks, if I wanted to. People who have never done this have difficulty with 10 minute blocks--if that's you, then work your way up. When you can work on the same thing half an hour straight, your productivity will soar--right along with your creativity and other mental virtues.
   
• Relate. Odds are you know someone who is conversant on many interesting topics. Find more people like that, and build relationships so you are frequently in such conversations. You'll find yourself just naturally "happening upon" interesting books and articles; it's amazing how that works. And you'll be thinking these things over, sometimes very deeply.
   
• Untext. I can't think of a more brain-wasting activity than texting. Perhaps there is one, but if it's worse than texting I don't want to know about it. This activity is, 99% of the time, non-stop interruption by people who have nothing to say. Eliminate it.
   
• Unplug. Why anyone would watch television news is beyond me. What do we know about it? Well, it's nearly always WRONG, leaving you disinformed. And it's mostly a string of negativity. Who needs that? The elite criminals do, so they can control you. But if you prefer to think instead of be a drone, unplug that television. Don't be fooled by some outlets that also offer some good stuff along with the bad--that's a slippery slope and/or the proverbial frog in the slowly heating up water.
   
• Exercise. Ideally, this means a program of high-intensity workouts so you maximize your physical well-being also. But your brain can be optimized just with moderate exercise. Make it something you enjoy. For example, take a dog for a walk--if you don't have one, borrow from a neighbor (your neighbor will be happy to let you do this, and the dog will love you for it. Just come up with something fun and physical, maybe several things, and exercise at least five days a week. This does all kinds of good things for your brain, in addition to just getting more blood flowing.
   
• Detox. Yes, we do sell some detox products. To see my personal favorite, watch this video. But this is cleaning up the damage after the fact. What you really want to do (once you get clean) is to stop the toxins from entering. Filter your water (other good methods of detoxing water include distilling and reverse osmosis), eat organic wherever practical, avoid processed grains, don't eat sweet corn or any corn-derived products (corn-fed beef, eggs from corn-fed chicken, corn syrup, corn sugar, high fructose sweetener), and don't eat hydrogenated oil. All of these toxins have profound health effects and contribute to making people stupid.

At www.supplecity.com, you'll find plenty of informative, authoritative articles on maintaining a lean, strong physique. It has nothing to do with long workouts or impossible to maintain diets. In fact:

• The best workouts are short and intense.
• A good diet contains far more flavors and satisfaction than the typical American diet.

Now you can see who's at your door? Is it a friend, or some criminal (e.g. IRS agent, burglar, random psychopath)?

Use as a Webcam when connected to a PC and as a viewfinder when connected with TV/PMP. You can use this amazing and versatile camera in many ways. Here are two:

1. Fasten it to your kayak, to record that great outdoor adventure.

2. Place in your home, office, vacation home, or almost anywhere else that you'd like to keep an eye on things.

Know what's going on, and keep a record of it--without actually being there.
