I don't know if it's anything that can be willed but my suggestion is to become curious. Seek out your own intellectual weaknesses (e.g. general knowledge, vocabulary, the rules of logic, problem solving aptitude, etc.) then work to improve them using reading material advanced enough to pose a challenge but not so advanced to completely obliterate your will in disciplines that truly interest you. Aim for subjects that have lasting value in the range of centuries, avoid pure ephemera and trash. Use the aid of flashcards and keep notes. Make it into a lifelong pursuit in order to establish a real habit of it and to maintain what skills you've previously developed. I wish you great success, should you attempt this.
