I have done some research on this since it's one of my big obsessions in life. A lot of research supports the fact that your cognitive skills can be enhanced by doing tasks that involve problem solving / all tasks that require cognitive power in general. As the guy said before, reading has shown to improve memory and focus. It also improves your vocabulary and articulation skills. Physical exercise and eating healthy also has a big effect. And this isn't just some bs I'm throwing off the top of my head, it's been shown to work and I've noticed the difference myself.

(Sorry for my english, im using translator)
Basically, it's like going back to school. Reading books, doing math problems, creating art, exercising... you know. Doing all of that with a pencil and paper is what makes us less stupid, and that's really the point of school. I only realized that in my senior year. Today, I'm dumber than I was when I finished high school, and now I realize how far my life has fallen. Anyway, get into a routine without pushing yourself too hard, and little by little, you'll surely improve! Good luck!

Having enough attention/focus seems relevant, I have a meditation megathread in my signature if you're interested. Otherwise I suppose we'd do different things depending on which aspect of intelligence you want to develop. Creativity/speed/wisdom/understanding/decision making/etc.
