Q: What foods can help help me feel a little sharper?

A: Lots of factors contribute to a fuzzy, sluggish feeling, and food is a big one. Your brain uses a good portion of your daily fuel (around 20% of your total caloric intake) to function properly, ensuring that you can think, remember those gazillion life details and stay on an even emotional keel. When you're lacking in certain nutrients, you might feel less than sharp. Look for foods like green veggies, fatty fish, berries and walnuts that contain brain-centric nutrients. One great item that has ingredients to support clear thinking (and that is highly stashable in your purse): GH Nutritionist Approved Brainiac Brain Bars. Each delicious bite contains a blend of omega-3s, choline and lutein, key nutrients that help your brain thrive (and your kid's brain too!).

Try this framework, developed by business management pros George Doran, Arthur Miller and James Cunningham for SMARTer goal setting (SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely):

INSTEAD OF "It's diet and detox time!"
