EndeavorOTC is an "over the counter" adult version of Akili’s FDA-approved, prescription-only game for children with ADHD.
It recommends 6 weeks of gaming for 25 minutes a day. I started using it this morning. The game mechanics are simple. It was engaging just barely enough to let my mind get ever so slightly bored and then I had to work to focus again. I wanted the 25 minutes to end, but I felt good about what it was making me do.

#ThrowbackThursday to the year my great aunt, Dotty, adopted an orphaned African Grey Elephant. (It was 1979 and I assume the laws were a little different then)
The baby girl was named Akili and she lived one hell of a life in rural Etna, California. My aunt owned about 45 acres of farmland and forest near the base of Mount Shasta. It was wild having an elephant cousin that showed up for reunions.
