How to Drain your Brain
Avoid getting sleep at all costs. Studies have shown that significant sleep deficit results in mental impairment similar to intoxication along with a decline in motor skills. Eat a lot of junk food with high fat and sugar content, and avoid fruits, vegetables, fish, and other "brain" foods. Never Exercise, otherwise you will experience the benefits of better blood flow to the brain along with improved Neuronal metabolism. Don't try and learn a new skill or challenge yourself in anyway, or you might stimulate the growth of new neural connections. Avoid difficult games, problems, and puzzles - that way your I.Q. will stay the same or decline over time. Accept the status quo at work and in life to keep the creative side of your brain dormant. Abuse drugs, alcohol, or other substances to keep your brain cells suppressed, and eventually damage them permanently. Let your emotions run wild - especially anger. Such highly charged states are not conducive to good mental function. Never look for more than one solution to a problem - that way you won't have to engage too many neurons in the task at hand. If you follow this advice you will experience the down side of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) - something smart people say when they are over thinking a problem, except in your case you will actually be stupid and simple :-).Tags:Brain Drain,

*multi-multi task, you burn out the neurons, disconnect them and connect them to the wrong thing.
*get involved in lists that go on for days.
*finally, follow our advice.
Don't think I'll be draining mine anytime soon. My brain, I mean... ;)

Blueturtle makes a good point about multi-tasking too much, but I think a busy brain is better if you can remain calm and relatively stress free as you think. Michaelm is usually able to find a humorous slant to a topic, and his blog is well worth checking out.
Although there is merit in not following the advice in this post, I wouldn't want to leave anyone with the impression that I haven't been guilty of the "sins" mentioned there. I wanted the post to be somewhat satirical and hopefully humorous.
Thanks for the link, Beau!
