do you drive a car.. ?

a simple idea i used when i was starting out and indeed used during my IR and also taught to my students, in order to help them gain extra mental capacity and multitasking is when youre driving your car start giving yourself simple mathematical problems to solve, by this i mean as you are negotiating the roundabout ahead try taking 37 from 84 in your head, as you pull away from the lights whats 78 multiplied by 13... etc...
doesn't have to be a car, can be a push bike,motor bike, whilst your cooking your dinner.. anything really where you are using your brain to concentrate.

Simple but I find this helps to train your brain to multitask. As you commence and continue your training, try doing your pre-landing checks, take off checks, cruise checks as you would above, it really will help
