    Perhaps an obvious one, but reading books and other types of long form content does wonders for your ability to concentrate and stimulates your reasoning ability.

      Yes, and I’d argue to also reflect back on (long form) content, e.g. write down notes on books, critical ones, and if you watch a movie or documentary with friends, chat about it with them, reflect on your understanding of the topic, what was good, what wasn’t, develop a critical sense rather than just “consume” content.

        For sure, these kinds of discussions can be really fun because everybody tens to have a slightly different interpretation of the content, or focus on different aspects of it. By talking with each other, you get a more complete shared understanding.
