A Totally Quirky Trick to Improve Your Memory | Capability development- Engage , Enliven , Excite | Scoop.it

Our brains are weird. Very weird.


Take the study showing that just looking at a green roof for 40 seconds can boost your focus, for example. Or the one that found that simply switching the units of time you use to conceptualize a deadline (swapping days for years, say) can help you beat procrastination.


These sorts of findings might be odd, but they're also potentially useful. Putting a green plant in your line of sight costs next to nothing. If it can help you get more done with less struggle, why not? So it's worth noting whenever scientists come up with a new way to hack our work routines with so little effort.
