    What has worked for me:
    - Cutting down technology use. This includes checking my phone/Facebook regularly. I only have a glance three or so times a day. I feel for me personally this was the biggest culprit for such fog.
    - trying to avoid processed foods when possible, having a predominately plant based diet
    - aiming for better sleep
    - a decent morning routine (exercise, shower, meditate)
    - reading books daily
    - time management and regular goal setting

      @@Cstank5 I'll have to write all that down hahaha. To be perfectly honest regarding weed I would like to continue using it on a "now and then" basis. I used to use it nearly daily and that... Well didn't go well. I've decided I'm not gonna outright cut weed out, but I am going to limit it by a shit load. I'll use that diet to clear my gut microbiome of that specific species and see if that makes a significant impact. I know plenty of people who can use weed and it doesn't affect them negatively and they're all physically healthy with a decent diet, so that might be the real culprit. Growing up white bread was something I ate shitloads of and I ended up being diagnosed with ADD (adhd minus the hyperactive behaviour) so that revelation about white bread makes perfect sense. I'll prepare for that diet and see where it leads.

      It’s down to how good you sleep like you can sleep for 12 hours but if the quality of sleep is rubbish then it has no affect. Also aim for 7-9. What I started doing was I started putting my phone away 30 mins before bed and then I would meditate or just think about life. I think it helps a lot and I hope what I said helps as well

    I got rid of my brain fog after reducing my gluten, dairy, processed( including sugary and deep fried food) food intake. Gluten and dairy elimination was the game changer for me because otherwise I usually ate healthy.
    I also corrected by B12 , iron, vitamin D deficiency . This also had a huge impact on me. I don’t know what I did for the past decade, I was lulled into this semi sleepy state, all because of my poor diet. I could tell I wasn’t myself but there was nothing I could do to get out of it . Life was just passing by and I was trying hard to keep up with it but I couldn’t .

    1. Don't smoke pot.
    2. Sleep well on comfortable bed in darkened room about 7-9h.
    3. Excercise in fasted state, get cold shower after.
    4. Get daily sun exposure, especially just after wake up in the morning to grab some UV for carcadian regulation.
    5. Don't use screen time at least 1h before bed. Use blue light blockers, minimize blue light exposure, especially in the evening.
    6. B vitamins, cacao, black cumin seeds are helpfull.
    7. Intermittent fast.

    Man , this is awesome. I never understood exactly why I had brain fog on certain days, but you literally hit it on the head. I procrastinate and then worry, Now that I understand this and to write shit down, it sounds so simple but until you made a video about it, I truly didnt realize this was the cause of it. I'm now eating much healthier, no sugar or carbs, that really helped, but some days were still plagued with brain fog, and it happened to be when I was worrying about stuff I had to do that I put aside. Thanks man! (Subscribed) Keep these videos up, their awesome.

    You really touched on the solution with meditation. I can explain. Everything is solved by it. Before cell phones and tablets, it used to be that you'd stare out the window when riding in a car, daydream nearly everywhere, wait in line, talk to people face to face 90% of the time etc. There were many quiet moments throughout the day. These were moments for our spirit (mind) and soul (emotions) to rest. These words, spirit and soul, are actually defined as mind and emotions in the Greek found in the Bible. It's rarer today, but there used to be these moments, and a little voice inside would tell you "You're special. You're loved. Why don't you try doing this? That's not good for you, don't do that. Why don't you talk to so-and-so? Help that person. Be respectful. You have so much potential." There is peace in silence because there is healing in silence of what is out of order. The voice of God puts things back in order. We've become spiritually deaf by being consumed with noise and activity. Moderation is life changing.

    Brain fog is the worst, especially when you're trying to talk to someone or act confident to impress someone. You can say some really dumb things and embarrass yourself very quickly; or you can just not know what to say and then cue the awkward silences. It's happened to me multiple times now, so I can say I'm experienced in that stuff.

I’ve only allowed myself game time typically in the evening while during the day I do what I can to stay present and focus on things that’ll improve my life. I also have to stop smoking weed for this job which is fine cause I feel like it contributes to a form of overstimulation in chemicals and cut back a little on coffee (drink only in the mornings) I still don’t “feel” better but looking at the simple fact that it’s improvement makes me accept myself a little more.

    Hey all - so, I recently started doing this where I write things down that I want to accomplish. I literally put a black board inside my room and wrote stuff down. This has really helped me because it’s no longer “all the stuff that’s in my head that I have to do“it’s more like all the stuff that I’ve written down on the wall that I have to do and I must scratch through as I’m done. It brings your level of anxiety down however don’t just let the task sit there you must act on them or the anxiety will rise because you haven’t gotten anything done.

But there’s also such a thing as too much sleep, which worsens brain fog. You have to find a balance.
