I one hundred percent agree with you, it's all about small, daily, consistent habits, this leads to more effective progress!
@JaKeris this is an interesting thing to talk about. I suppose I have never paid attention to thinking skills specifically, and it is something I have more or less taken for granted. But it sure takes us through life and it is how we relate to each other. I am going to take a more active role in this area of my life. Thanks!

I really like the way you described cognitive skills as “mental muscles.” That comparison makes the whole idea feel a lot more intentional. I’ve noticed something similar in my own routines.
For example, I started learning a few phrases in another language just for fun. It wasn’t anything intense, but after a while I noticed I was thinking more clearly and switching between tasks more easily in my everyday life. It made me realize how even small mental challenges can wake up parts of the brain we don’t usually use.
One thing that helps me is changing up the way I approach everyday tasks. When I break out of my usual patterns, like trying a new method to organize my day or exploring a topic I normally wouldn’t, it feels like my mind becomes more flexible. It’s interesting how these tiny habits add up over time.
I’m also curious whether you’ve noticed certain habits helping more than others. For me, stepping outside my routine, like you mentioned, has been surprisingly powerful. Even something as simple as taking a different route to home or reading in a new spot seems to wake up parts of my brain that usually stay quiet
