Think the best way to jump-start a project involves a large dark roast with extra shots? Think again, according to Wired magazine. As part of a roundup of mental boosters, one writer suggests that research has shown smaller, regular doses of caffeine—think tea breaks or half-cups of coffee—do more to boost alertness and reduce jitters than a large blast of the stuff:Test subjects reported that periodic small shots made them feel clearheaded and calm, both of which enhance mental performance. Even better, add a lump of sugar or have a carbohydrate-rich snack at the same time for an extra cognitive kick. It seems that glucose and caffeine together do more to enhance cognition than either does alone.Hit the Wired link to browse more tips for memorization, mood control and other brain boosters.

Real Simple magazine has a thirst-inducing roundup of recipes that take fresh lemonade one step beyond its (admittedly elegant) simplicity, adding fresh flavors and making them great accompaniments to grilled dinners and outdoor parties. None of them are very complicated—peeling and grating fresh ginger is the toughest step among them—and every one is guaranteed to taste scads better than the powdered stuff. For the purists, however, the magazine also provides a pretty classic recipe—just sugar, lemons, water, and a lazy afternoon. Photo by i am jae. Lemonade, Remade [Real Simple]
