Last Updated: June 10, 2022

If you’re interested in improving and maintaining your intelligence, you may be wondering what kind of habits you should be building. So long as you’re willing to put the work in, there’s no reason you can’t be your smartest self. In this article, we’ll break down everything you’ll need to do if you want to be as smart as you can be.

1

Fulfill your academic obligations.

Do not skip out on your homework and study hard. The entire point of school is to make you as smart as possible! Complete all of your math, language arts, history, and science homework. Put your best foot forward at school and never hesitate to ask questions.

2

Prioritize your tasks.

Complete the most important things first. This helps because you might need to do an important project and you decide to go and play basketball and you rush your teacher will tell you that this work has not been improved.

3

Plan ahead.

The more prepared you are for the day, the easier things will be. Get a notebook or small digital planner to write down your daily homework assignments and write down the due dates for tests and papers. Get a weekly planner with your class schedule and plan your activities. Get a monthly calendar to write down birthdays and big events. Write down what classes you have, when to do homework and what your homework is, dates, when you are hanging out with friends etc. all in your planner.

4

Be happy.

What’s the point of being smart if you aren’t enjoying it? Do things you love in your spare time and pursue your passions. The better your mood is, the easier it will be to pursue your goal of being intelligent.

5

Keep an open mind.

Smart people tend to be flexible and inclusive. You do not have to agree with them but remember everybody has something to teach you. Keep an open mind. The more intelligent you are the more questions you will ask of your friends, teachers and parents. It is great for social conversations too but don't do it in class.
