How can I train my brain to think metric?

Rather than focusing on conversions and equivilents, just try and start relating every day events in metric.  That way you will build up a natural sense of the units, much like you did when you learned the imperial system.\n\nIf you try and go about it in terms of "coversions" you wll still be thnking in imperial, and then have to convert, the goal is to get yourself to think in metric first, without falling back on conversions.\n\nOver time try and build up a set of metric “visual clues” for a whole range of everyday objects. This will enable you to instantly recognise almost any metric measurement you may encounter.

Try the legal and safe drug caffeine. It has been shown to help think better.

just read, think, think think, then right down whatever comes to your brain. After a while, it's the action that's the hardest part not the idea.

Read more.  Use the opposite hand to do chores, write etc. it will focus on the other side of your brain causing it to work more.  eat high fiber foods such as blueberries, oatmeal, and fish which has important omega fatty acids.  get plenty of sleep and don't over analyze a problem.  sleep on it, and you will have an answer when you wake up.  exercise as it gets more oxygen to your brain.  watch less tv and get involved in things that make you think more.

The worlds largest computer cannot count that high, may be quicker but not larger. Your brain receives input by the second on a daily basis. It stores and learns while you sleep. Try this: type out a sentence of some kind in Word. Or a couple of sentences. (enough to give the file a size) How long to type a 100 KB file? Divide your hard drive by that time and then put that answer into HUMAN YEARS.  That is how big your brain is.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I am a math expert and that is the way i developed a very quick mental math capability.

the brain holds information most effectively when that piece of information is repeatedly fed into it. \n\nso the ultimate key for memorization is REPETITION.\n\nbut there are methods that i can suggest to help make the repetition process more efficient.\n\nA. FOR A LIST OF THINGS, FACTS, FIGURES..\n1. mnemonics are very useful in memorizing. make an acronym out of the first letters of the list of things or ideas you are memorizing.\n\n2. also, imagination and association helps. for example, you are supposed to memorize this:\n\ndog\ncane\ngreen\nlady\ndress\n\nyou could somehow think of an association between these words and imagine it. you could think of a dog holding a cane meeting a lady wearing a green dress.\n\nB. FOR POEMS, SPEECHES...\n\n1. try reading the piece repeatedly. as i've said earlier, repetition is the key.\n\na. if it's a SPEECH, try grouping the sentences and memorize two sentences at a time. repeat them over and over, until you got it. then, move to the next two sentences. once you've memorized them, try reciting these sentences in order with the first two. do this until you've finally finished everything.\n\n\nb. for poems, do the same thing for the speech, this time, instead of sentences, take two lines per stanza at a time.

I really recommend reading Tony Buzan's books on mindmapping and learning - very useful and applicable.\n\nA website which you mind find useful (memory techniques, brain teasers) is http://www.braingle.com/\n\nAnd when I'm learning lines for a play, I stick post-its everywhere or sing my lines in the shower. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

Make a short mnemonic of all points and then try to run it thru ur mind, then it's easier to remember\nfor Network layers of ISO OSI MODEL : \nPHYSICAL-DATA LINK-NETWORK-TRANSPORT-SESSION-PRESENTATION -APPLICATION u can have \n"Please Do Not Throw Salami Pizza Away" an acronym of all points in a sentence with words beginning with these letters.\nThe more u learn to associate things n mnemonics, the more it is easier to remember. \nU v to train that brain of urs, tho.

Ichi THAT is BRILLIANT......I know that in the tangential thinking that often bests me 'thinkos are the weakest links, perhaps the 'savants' of my mind and truly the innocents. Perhaps they are what saves my butt altogether.\nAbsolutely Brill!!!! I am going to ask if I may have permission to use this in my writing for in my speaking & writing i have for the first time just spoken it aloud...thank for the new concept on somethng I have been doing, another thing to obssess on, fair play to you mate, brain food doesnt often ome through the screen like this. and it just did.\nNow does this include the frontal and temporal lobes? Will Kirlean Photograhy show this in action? Or is it a different part of the brain where the lost socks of our lives go to?\nTHIS is a cool quesion. I now possess a new word..and it is awesome..."THINKOS"..now THAT is HOT!!!

I would recommend you first put your mind in a neutral position.  Then start reading and observing.  if you find you still have seteotypical thinking, then either you are right, you never put your mind in a neutral position or you missed something.

Repetition, recitation and write waht you think is important. Most importantly though is to take a ten minute break every thirty minutes. (your brain can only absorb so much new information in a given amount of time) Don't do anything just sit there. What you want is for what you are studying to take hold in your long term memory. If you watch TV or talk to someone the new stimuli will push out the old stimuli (what you've been studying), and come tommorrow you will remember more of what you watched on TV and talked about.

Start writing down random thoughts.  They can be dumb, stupid, irrelevant, or way out.  At this point it doesn't matter, we are only getting words on paper and the more the better.  If you can get someone else to "brainstorm" with you, it will help.\n\nOK, now you have your list.  Don't look at it.  Go take a nap, watch a movie or get a good night's sleep, anything to take your mind off the subject.\n\nNow you're fresh.  Take out the list and start looking through it.  There, see that stupid idea.  It is really dumb but if you just changed it a little bit and blended in some of that silly idea you were looking at earlier.  Do you see where I am going?  If you can just start the process it will finish itself about 80% of the time.  \n\nI can't tell you how many times I have called workers into my office and we would just start throwing ideas at a tape recorder.  I would have the list typed up and check it the next day.  When I checked I tried to have one or two people who had never seen it participate in generating the needed idea.  It works, give it a try.
