So, I've had a very depressing couple of years and finally managed to pull my shit together.
1 month ago I probably hit the rock bottom with attention span and so on.. so I started to pick up reading and programming again (can program, went to CS college) and promised myself to stick to it.
I've been 1 month sober from basically procrastinating (video games, shallow entertainment, fapping, staying up late,..) and bad habits (eating unhealthy, not exercising daily, not reading and learning/memory recalling daily,..).
What I've noticed is overall mood change into positive and my attention span is literary gaining bigger traction day by day, while my memory also improved a lot. My will and mental endurance went through the roof and I can actually push myself through great obstacles and sense how much further I can go.
My question is, since I'm over 25..does it really matter how old are you if you wanna get better at problem solving? It's practice in combination with healthy lifestyle at the end of the day and pushing yourself with somewhat of a structured program. Be it losing weight/putting on muscle or improving your problem solving/reading comprehension, etc.. you practice, exercise, test yourself and improve as long as you have the will to do it.
Anyone with similar story? I hear about neuroplasticity all the time, etc.. it seems like bunch of retarded shit, you practice, you get better at something.
