15 minutes of plain old clear-the-mind meditation every morning (or as often as you can). Get an egg-timer to assist. The mind is a muscle.
Get appropriate exercise and pay attention to your diet - this becomes more and more important as you age.
Get appropriate sleep.
Do some programming on the side, just for fun if you can - you stay sharp at things due to practice, not due to innate unchangeable ability. If you're stuck for ideas, pick any online programming contest - there's a bunch that run continuously and automatically - and endless set of skill-sharpening questions to pick from and work up.

- fictorial 16y agoI cannot tell if this is a serious question or a joke!
- tocomment 16y agoSorry somehow I missed the fifteen in your answer. Do you think ten minutes would do anything?
- locopati 16y agoTry it and see. More will have a deeper effect, but I believe that any amount of focused mind-clearing has great effect (even 3 focused deep breaths at times throughout the day helps clear the head).
