use your head
USUK
to think carefully and sensibly about something
Said as advice or, a little rudely, as 'Use your head!'. 'Use your brain' means the same.
In context
Use your head! If you leave the milk out in this heat, it'll go off.
The puzzle isn't hard if you use your head and read the clues slowly.
