then a simple tip you can use is to move your mouse and put it on your left how
can this possibly work you ask well for starters it forces you to use a
different part of your brain the right hemisphere to be precise which controls
movement in your left side over time this can help encourage ambidexterity
and that in turn can have a number of positive benefits for your brain by
increasing your spatial awareness your memory and possibly even your creativity
it improves memory communication between your brains two hemispheres which has been
shown to be useful in a number of studies as you create more neural tissue
to learn this left-handed dexterity of course you'll put it on the right if you
are left-handed your brain becomes better at adapting and changing
therefore making it easier to learn other new tasks at the same time though
putting your mouse on the left side will make it more annoying to use this is a
bad thing if you are sending work emails or doing other important jobs that
require a mouse but in other cases it can actually be a good thing that's
because controlling a mouse with your left hand will likely be enough to put
you off going for a wander online or browsing YouTube this in turn means that
you'll probably focus more on the work you're doing and get it completed more
quickly all those benefits just from putting your mouse on the left what else
can you do this easily to have profound effects on your ability to work
productively and efficiently stand up just as using your left hand can enhance
your creativity and memory standing up may be able to improve your focus and
help you to stay productive for longer that's because standing up will help to
encourage your heart to work harder which will promote the delivery of
oxygen and nutrients around your body into your brain at the same time
standing up while working can have other beneficial effects outside of your
productivity it can help you to burn more calories for instance and can help
to improve your posture and eliminate back problems that many associate with
working in a desk share studies have shown however that
promotes focus when engaging in difficult tasks so the best way to work
is to answer email standing up and then to sit down when you want to sink your
teeth into the meat of your working day oh and getting more exercise has been
shown to boost memory across the board too
