Exercise your BRAIN!
I recently read an article talking about ways to keep your brain fresh -- we all know about the latest Sudoku craze, but this article mentioned little things such as using your non-dominant hand for normal every-day actions! Interesting, huh?

That's interesting! That reminds me of something my grandmother said to me once -- (and I paraphrase)
"Nowadays, kids don't even use their brain for simple things like trying to remember a detail of something that happened last week. Instead, the cell phone comes out and they call up a friend who calls up a friend who knows the answer. Thats a tragedy, since thinking about things and racking your brain to remember things actually keeps your brain exercised and in peak performance!"
So now - I try to take this advice to heart and actually THINK instead of getting on the computer or cell phone, as my grandmother so aptly pointed out.
I tried something similiar. I tried doing everything in reverse for one day. I fell asleep upon waking up, I then ate dinner instead of breakfast, I then listened to my wife give a reverse synopsis of a day yet to begin, and I drove around my building and re-entered the garage after leaving for work! It was definitely a mind altering event to say the least! However I didn't get much done that day...
Yes I heard about this too! I actually do things like use my left hand to brush my teeth, comb my hair..ect. I also do word search puzzles. I think it is very important to keep our brain moving!!
