    Resting and avoiding stress like others said is important. From my experience the best advice for dealing with brainfog is similar to dealing with a concussion. Any brain heavy tasks should be limited. This includes phone-use, reading, listening to audiobooks/podcasts or most games that require some strategic thinking.

    The best way to rest your brain is to meditate often and to do simple and repetitive things like knitting.

    Brainfog can be debilitating and depending on the severity it can significantly affect your ability to work and learn.
