How Does Chess Boost Brain Efficiency?

Chess is a brain-intensive activity. But scientists have found that chess experts actually use less brainpower than beginners.

Here’s what chess teaches us about mastering things:

  • Practice and repetition help your brain become more efficient at handling complex processes.
  • True mastery involves using both thinking systems — slow analysis and fast intuition.
  • Over time, you’ll use fast, pattern-based thinking to solve problems.

        What Happens To Your Brain After 24 Hours Without A Phone?

        If the thought of being phone-free for even a few hours makes you anxious, here’s what a full day without a phone does for your stress and focus.

        • Realize that most “urgent” messages can actually wait
        • See how anxiety turns into mental clarity after just 16 hours offline
        • Transform your reactive habits by breaking free from the endless cycle of notifications

        ❔ Ask Yourself

        What Are the Pitfalls of an “Either/Or” Mentality?

        Absolutist thinking might be holding you back in relationships, work and personal growth.

        Here’s how to break free:

        • Admit the tradeoffs in your most strongly-held beliefs.
        • Realize that reality is often more nuanced and complex.
        • Find at least one positive quality in people to improve interactions and lower stress.

          How Can ‘Laughably Small’ Daily Habits Transform Your Life?

          Overnight transformations are a myth. The real path to success is modest.

          Here’s how small wins create momentum:

          • Break big goals into “micro-goals” that feel easy to complete each day.
          • Build momentum through consistent small actions that compound over time.
          • Celebrate small progress for positive feedback loops that feed long-term motivation.

            How Can This Poker Strategy Help You Succeed In Business?

            Many founders either overthink or ship without focus. This poker strategy may help you strategically build products.

            It’s called “tight aggressive”:

            • Before committing, calculate expected value: (odds x payoff) – costs.
            • Avoid the twin traps of analysis paralysis and random shipping.
            • Choose a project wisely, then pursue it intensely.

            ❔ Ask Yourself

            How Can You Design Your Ideal Life in 7 Minutes?

            The gap between the life you want and the one you’re building might be bigger than you think—but there’s a surprisingly simple exercise to close that distance.

            Here’s how to use the “Ideal End State” exercise to transform your life:

            • Create a detailed bullet list about your ideal life. From work to relationships to daily routines.
            • Find the inconsistencies between what you say you want and your current actions.
            • Identify and eliminate activities you’re doing that don’t serve your true goals.

              Why Is Product/Market Fit The Wrong Goal For You?

              Product/market fit is the holy grail of startups. But what if this concept is actually leading you down the wrong path?

              Here’s a more practical approach to finding startup success:

              • Target specific groups of people you can actually reach instead of abstract “markets”.
              • Focus on channel/offer fit. Find one scalable acquisition channel and build an offer that converts.
              • Realize that your product is more than features. It is also pricing, guarantees, bundling and positioning.

              ❔ Ask Yourself

              How Do Small Environmental Changes Lead to Big Behavior Changes?

              You might be struggling to build good habits due to a bad environment.

              Change your environment and live a better life:

              • Remove negative influences from your environment instead of trying to resist them.
              • Fit good habits in your flow. If you want to exercise, find a gym literally on your way home from work.
              • Design spaces that automate good decisions for you. From smaller plates for portion control to blocked websites for productivity.

                Why Do App Streaks Feel So Compelling?

                Ever wonder why streaks in apps like Duolingo or Wordle feel so powerful, even when regular habits fade?

                This research shows you exactly why:

                • Create clear goals for your streak mechanics – define exactly what users need to do and when they need to do it to keep their streak.
                • Use psychological drivers like goal achievement, identity change and gamification to make your streaks compelling enough to change user behavior.
                • Design streaks around daily activities instead of weekly or monthly ones. This simplifies decision-making and encourages regular engagement with your product.

                • Create a targeted outreach list by scoring potential partners and press outlets based on relevance, referrals and audience reach.
                • Use your existing network by asking friends, family and colleagues to test your product and share early feedback that shapes your offering.

                  Why Is Charging $1 Infinitely Better Than Charging $0?

                  Getting someone to pay anything is infinitely better than getting them to pay nothing:

                  • Don’t ask customers what they’d pay – ask what they currently spend solving this problem or what they’ll save by solving it.
                  • Learn how your customers budget and buy – their purchasing process will influence your pricing strategy and business model.
                  • Start simple but aim high – most startups undercharge, so consider doubling your price to see what happens (you’ll likely be surprised).

                  Success often looks messy behind the scenes – even high achievers struggle with doubts, procrastination and anxiety.

                  • Focus on one important task per day: block 2-3 solid hours for your most vital work instead of juggling many tasks poorly
                  • Judge tasks by impact, not volume: being busy usually means avoiding the few uncomfortable but crucial actions that really matter
                  • Remember everyone struggles: successful people aren’t superheroes, they just do big things despite their self-defeating habits and doubts

                    Why is Building a Simpler Product a Competitive Advantage?

                    Simplicity in products isn’t just nice to have – it’s often the key to massive success.

                    Especially now, when life feels overwhelming:

                    • Narrow down to the core value: WhatsApp focused first on just delivering messages and calls reliably, Instagram only had photo sharing
                    • Make tough cuts, not easy ones: real prioritization means cutting good features that you want, keeping only what makes your product essential
                    • Build trust through consistency: when users know exactly what your product does, they don’t get lost or confused when you add new features later

                    What Makes Users Abandon Your App In The First 60 Seconds?

                    Your product’s first moments determine whether users stay or join the 80% who abandon apps after one session:

                    • Define different user types and personalize the onboarding experience for each – power users, casual users and skeptical users all need different paths to success.
                    • Work backward from what success looks like for each user type and design the simplest path to get them to their first “win.”
                    • Create emotional engagement through micro-rewards, progress indicators and subtle animations that give users dopamine hits as they move through your onboarding flow.
