Check out this post.
It describes a brain warmup that takes a couple minutes, and basically gets your wheels turning.
Just did it and it’s surprisingly difficult. I do feel better after completing it though. You would think I could think of a noun beginning with N instantly as I have almost 100(some start with verbs) objects starting with N in my 1000 object system, but no, I was somehow stuck for ~5 seconds, mind blank. Here is the work out for people too lazy to click or read the whole post:
“Count backwards from 100”- Fast as possible, don’t worry if you miss a number
“Find a noun that fits each letter of the alphabet” - Also imagine the noun as you say it
“Think of 10 female names”
“Think of 10 male names”
“Close your eyes and take 10 deep meditative breaths”
Again, here is the post.
Try it out.

Thanks for sharing! I’m gonna try this tomorrow morning. Though, I might add mental calculation to it ( squaring a 3 or 4 digits numbers should be enough).
Edit: Damn, I forgot to do it just after waking up. I’ll do it now.
I tried it, and I can affirm, it is effective!
It’s not very easy to find a noun starting with x or y.
Tried it and I really feel like I see things more clearly now (both with my mind and my eyes). This is great!
