Workplace Fitness: 3 fast ways to improve your memory

Posted: Jul 9th 2008 10:01AM by Rigel Celeste

We've all experienced "brain failure," that embarrassing moment when you can't remember something totally mundane and regular -- like how to spell a simple word or where you parked your car. Having a better memory is something pretty much everybody would enjoy, especially when it comes to doing your best at work. Giving your noodle a boost is something you can do in as little as 30 seconds, so there's really no reason you can't fit an exercise or two into your daily routine.

Right brain vs. left brain: Which do you use more?

You've probably heard that the brain consists of two distinct lobes -- the right and the left. The right is responsible for imagination, feelings and creativity, while the left is responsible for logic, details and facts. Want to know which lobe is dominant for you? Go to this link, look at the picture of the dancer and focus on which way she is turning. Is it clockwise? Or counter-clockwise?

If clockwise is your answer, you use your right brain more often. If you saw her moving in the other direction, you use your left. If you look really hard and focus on the dancer, you can see that she changes direction.

For me, she was turning counter-clockwise, which means my left lobe is more dominant -- therefore I'm more logical. What about you?
