Excellent choice. Below is a daily, repeatable Focus + Recall Drill System designed specifically to sharpen attention, working memory, logical thinking, and interview-level recall.
This is practice-first, minimal theory, maximum brain impact 🧠⚡


🧠 DAILY FOCUS + RECALL DRILL SYSTEM

Total time: 45–75 minutes
🎯 Outcome: Laser focus + fast recall + strong problem-solving


🔥 PART 1: FOCUS PRIMING (5–7 minutes)

Do this before any study or problem-solving.

Drill

  1. Sit straight, eyes closed
  2. Breathe in 4 sec
  3. Hold 4 sec
  4. Breathe out 6 sec
  5. Repeat × 10 rounds

✅ Clears mental noise
✅ Switches brain into deep focus mode


🧮 PART 2: MENTAL MATH DRILLS (10–15 minutes) — DAILY

🔹 Drill A: Speed Arithmetic (5 min)

Do in your head, no writing.

  • 47 × 6
  • 120 ÷ 8
  • 19²
  • 15% of 240
  • 999 − 378

📌 Goal: Speed + accuracy, not perfection.


🔹 Drill B: Chain Calculations (5 min)

Start with a number, apply operations continuously.

Example:

Start = 7
× 4 → + 12 → ÷ 2 → − 5 → × 3

At the end, say the final number without retracing steps.

🧠 Trains working memory


🔹 Drill C: Estimation (5 min)

Answer approximately, fast.

  • People in a football stadium?
  • Books in a library?
  • Seconds in a month?

📌 Interviews love estimation → this builds confidence.


🧩 PART 3: LOGIC PUZZLE DRILLS (10–15 minutes)

🔹 Drill A: Pattern Recognition

Answer mentally:

  • 2, 6, 12, 20, ?
  • A, C, F, J, ?
  • 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ?

🔹 Drill B: Constraint Logic

Example:

3 switches control 3 bulbs in another room.
You can enter the room only once.
How do you identify which switch controls which bulb?

📌 Don’t rush — reason step-by-step aloud.


🔹 Drill C: Reverse Thinking

Ask:

  • How could this fail?
  • What assumption am I making?
  • What if input is extreme?

🧠 This is how top problem-solvers think.


💻 PART 4: CODING THINKING DRILLS (15–25 minutes)

🔹 Drill A: Problem → Pattern (NO CODING YET)

Take any problem and answer ONLY:

  1. What is the core problem?
  2. Which pattern fits?
    • Hash map
    • Two pointers
    • Sliding window
    • DFS / BFS
  3. What is time & space complexity?

📌 This trains interview recall, not syntax.


🔹 Drill B: Code from Memory (10 min)

  • Pick a known problem
  • Write solution without IDE help
  • Even pseudo-code is enough

🧠 This massively strengthens recall.


🔹 Drill C: Explain Aloud (5 min)

Pretend interviewer is listening:

  • Why this approach?
  • Why not another?
  • What are tradeoffs?

📌 If you can explain → you truly know it.


🔁 PART 5: RECALL SNAPSHOT (5 minutes)

At the end, close everything and answer:

  • What math trick did I learn?
  • What logic pattern appeared?
  • What coding pattern did I use?

Write 3 bullet points only.


📆 WEEKLY STRUCTURE (IMPORTANT)

DayFocus
MonMath + Arrays
TueLogic + Strings
WedMath + HashMaps
ThuLogic + Recursion
FriEstimation + SQL
SatMixed drills
SunRecall only (no new learning)

🧠 GOLDEN RULES

  • Speed > perfection
  • Recall > re-reading
  • Explain > memorize
  • Consistency beats intensity
