Proof about how beneficial retirement is for brain function. I play a Microsoft game, Spider - used to be called Spider Solitaire - during idle moments. Used to be I'd mostly do this for a little while after work to unwind/decompress. Half the time I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing, just randomly clicking. When I retired my win % - Grandmaster level for those who play it - was just a tickle over 38%, something like 38.14%.
Now I play it in the morning between looking over markets and stuff instead of getting ready for work. My current win rate is 39.41% and this is with 2,286 games played so we're not talking about a small sample size..
So it's proof - retirement makes you smarter!
