42 here, I feel it. Don't know if it's age, added responsibilities, or the culmination of all the distraction and task switching I've experienced for years. But, I've just recently started 'brain training' using brainhq.com, kind of for fun and just to see if it makes a difference.

TBH I thought all those ads for brain training were a load of BS, but I recently finished reading The Brain that Changes Itself by Norman Doidge, it's an older-ish book at this point but there was a lot of info in there about how the brain works that I didn't know. Neuroscientist Michael Merzenich's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Merzenich work pioneering brain plasticity with cochlear implants and expanding that research into autism is highlighted at the beginning of the book and it's pretty damn interesting.

BrainHQ was started by Merzenich, and it's cheap. Figured why not give it a shot?
