Time off is as important as focused time. Your new neurons will be saved more efficiently if you: exercise, learn new skills (i.e. learn how plumbing work) or new environments (take a new route to home). Give yourself a break in a maximally "rich" environment (run on the beach while listening to music).
new synapses forms during sleep
One study of rats discovered that rats who were in rich environment had neurons connection 2x stronger than rats in bare cages. Rich environments is about surrounding yourself with people, rich scenery, participating in stimulating events or exercising. The same applies to humans. Terrence Sejnowski, neuroscientist and co author of this course, in between research sessions goes for runs on the beach while listening to music. This is his way of benefiting from entering rich environment or triggering a maximally diffuse mode.
