The 52 brain hacks* are written for busy people.
You’ll learn how to stay calm under pressure.
You’ll get tools to keep your overview.
And you’ll learn to use your brain to create more time.
The brain hacks are based on the book: The Brain Fable – Master Your Mind. Master Your Time.
The Brain Fable is a story about your brain that helps you discover your own path to more calm and time. The weekly brain hacks are practical tools you can use to experiment and find what works for you. You can benefit from either one on its own—but together, the story and the tools make it even easier to create change.
*) What are brain hacks?
Your brain hacks you many times a day. It means well, but sometimes its “help” leads you to say or do things you didn’t intend.
With brain hacks, you learn to "hack back"—so you can change your patterns and act the way you truly want.
That’s what you’ll learn with the techniques behind the 52 brain hacks.
Is it difficult?
If you follow the brain hacks, it’s not difficult. They are concrete and developed together with busy people who want clear instructions they can act on right away.
Some things may feel counterintuitive, but that’s how the brain works. It’s unpredictable—so your method has to be as well.
Does it take a lot of time?
Fortunately, it doesn’t take extra time to practice these brain hacks.
You simply continue your daily routine and just add a few small (but effective) adjustments to your thoughts and behavior.
Your brain will reward you with more time and more calm.
Why does it work?
There are two main reasons why it works:
1. Each brain hack is backed by neuroscience. It’s concrete and effective to use brain research when you want more time.
2. The methods have been developed through 1,000 hours of testing and feedback with busy leaders and employees. They’ve tried the methods, and what works has been systematized into practical tools you now get access to.
Meet my 'olds'
Hi, I’m Mirja Bang, and my 52 brain hacks are part of my “olds.”
I don’t write news – news is fleeting and quickly loses its value.
Instead, I share my “olds”: timeless, field-tested knowledge about your brain and your time. My goal is to help busy people manage their day in close, healthy collaboration with their brain.
What do readers say?
It definitely works for me that it only takes one minute to read. In fact, your email is the only one I always read, for exactly that reason.
And it also works that there’s always one simple, tangible nugget that’s easy to integrate into my daily life – as opposed to a whole story about all sorts of things I need to consider.

I enjoy your emails as reminders of lots of tips and tricks I already know, but which I sometimes need to revisit or try out at the stage I’m at now.
I love that it’s short and to the point.

I’m a big fan of your “olds” and often take screenshots to share them with relevant people.

For me, your olds are a great input and a good reminder to stay mindful and reflective.
I choose how I want to spend my time – right now and for the rest of the day!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Mirja Bang
I have worked with fast-growing companies at high speed for 20 years, and since 2008 I have explored how the brain and time are connected alongside my work.
The methods I learned as a busy leader and employee form the foundation of my everyday life, and I continually develop and refine these tools when I teach and coach busy leaders who want to create more time.
My background is technical, and I have supplemented it with an E-MBA from The Technical University of Denmark. I continuously pursue further education and am a certified Neuroscience Coach from the Neuroscience Coaching Centre in London, ICC Executive Coach, EsAC from the Paul Ekman Group, and Stakeholder Centered Coach from Marshall Goldsmith, among others.
I hope you will benefit greatly from the 52 brain hacks, which are designed to help you and your brain—especially if you are busy and would like to have more time available.
Best regards,
Mirja Bang
