It’s never too late to make small changes that can help. Puzzles are fine, but the skills don’t really transfer. Basically, you get good at doing puzzles, but it doesn’t help you find your keys. The simplest thing to do, is go for a walk/do some physical activity when you can.

I’m going to attach my keys to the puzzle or do a puzzle of keys!

That’s thinking outside the box!

I admit that I usually find my keys because I am a creature of habit.

Doc I believe in using your brain as much as possible. Creating things as in art or writing stories. Reading and listening to lectures.

Alzheimer’s and dementia both run in my family. So I try to do all the little things I can to keep my brain sharp. I totally agree that doing puzzles just makes you good at puzzles. I can do a 16x16 extreme sudoku, but still forget to put the coffee creamer back in the fridge.
