The Five Programs

Cognitive training, the way Trinity thinks about it, is five different tracks. They’re not progressions — they’re directions. Pick the one that fits the week you’re having.

Daily Enhancement is the floor. Twenty minutes a day, six days a week. Mental math, memory drills, attention exercises. The cognitive equivalent of roadwork.

Weekly Brain Training organizes the week by domain. Monday is memory. Tuesday is logic. Wednesday is spatial reasoning. Thursday is verbal. Friday is processing speed. Saturday is integration. You don’t train the same body part every day in the weight room. Don’t do it in the gym between your ears either.

Neuroplasticity is the novelty track. Use your non‐dominant hand. Take a new route. Learn an instrument. Cross‐train cognitive skills the way an athlete cross‐trains physical ones. The brain rewards novelty with new connections.

Mindfulness‐Based is the breath track. Focused attention. Sustained presence. The slow read of a difficult page. The full chewing of a meal. Boxing, done right, is already this — but you can train it off the floor too.

Twelve‐Week Progressive is the structured curriculum. Four phases, three weeks each. Starts with foundations, ends with integration. Designed to be measurable: baseline, midpoint, finish. The cognitive equivalent of a fight camp.

You don’t have to do all five. You don’t have to do any of them. But if you’re going to take care of the rest of you, take care of the part that’s calling the shots.
