Play Video Games
You might want to stop suggesting your children do something more productive—better yet, pick up a controller yourself. A Penn State study found that video games not only boosts your problem-solving skills, but also help us make accurate decisions faster. The best part? It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. Students who took a creativity test after playing video games scored higher than those who hadn’t played—whether the outcome was in their favor or not. Since we’re guessing your office doesn’t have an Xbox set up, try playing the night before a big meeting. Or if you head home at lunch, turn the game on for a half hour.
