Activities That Sharpen Your Practical Intelligence
 
  I love learning by doing.   36   Life is all about continuing and compounding growth and evolution. Learning by doing empowers me to create new value, habits and experiences, which all translate to a more productive and rewarding life.
 
1. Learn to code.
 
   Coding is not just for computer geeks. Even if it is just to understand how a computer works, to make your job more efficient or to add some common knowledge and a cool hobby on your list, coding can provide value. Coding creates new synapses(神经元突触)in your brain by deconstructing and analyzing problems.   37   
 
2. Try an escape room.
 
   I’m crazy about these things. I’ve been to seven in the past five weeks. For those who don’t know, an escape room is an immersed(浸入)experience. You are locked in a room and have to solve puzzles and clues to get out. These escape rooms teach you how to use limited resources and rely on a team. There is no preparation for it.  38  
 
3. Build something.
 
   Take a hands-on class on carpentry or any DIY building class that you find interesting.   39  . Learning to build helps push your mental limitations, and will empower you to look at resources and supplies in new ways. Worst-case situation is that you end up with an extra bookshelf.
 
4. Invent something.
 
___40   ? Maybe it’s a simple device you could use at home or it’s organizing your apartment in a way that you will get the most of the space. You can be more inventive by figuring out how to use your resources efficiently or how to create new value with inventions of your own. They can be as simple as your phone in a cup to create amplified music or as complex as a fully automated home. Start using your brain in an inventive way and you’ll be able to access more brain power for other tasks.
