A Silly Left Right Brain Test

by

Here’s a Fun Test

Finding Ideas Outside of the Box logo 2

Here’s a fun test on right and left brain thinking with only a few questions. If you know this stuff you can easily skew it. I tried not to, but I did anyway. We know that I am very right brain. But I also have left brain qualities. I won’t give you my results before you take the test.

Have some fun with it, but don’t plan your life on the results. Click on the title below to try it out.

Right or Left Brained

We all use both sides of our brain and we can develop the side that we don’t use.

Jason Boog Called Me a What?

by

Go See For Yourself

Jason Boog at The Publishing Spot gave me a new name in last night’s post. I’ve never been called that before. I’m not at all sure that I can live up to it.

In any case, I’m wondering whether I should buy some new clothes for his interview that starts on Monday. His readers are going to have BIG expectations now.

What do you think?

Thanks, Jason. You’re too much!

Great Find: Life as It Should Be

KB Explains Life to Me

On Thursday in a post about finding fodder for ideas, I told a story about an adventure with my friend KB.

Most of my friends in the 3-D world are people who like to talk about the way things work — especially important things, such as life and its intricacies. Last night KB sent an email explaining how life is supposed to be. She was paraphrasing a George Carlin story, but it had her spirit, her voice, and her philosophy as well as his.

It didn’t seem the right thing to post here, but it didn’t seem right to leave you out of the fun either. So, if you’d like to know the way life should work. Click the story below and it will take you to read what KB sent about life and how it really should be.

Friday Productivity Tip — Get Some Silence

by

Quiet the Chatter

Today when you’re trying to get that last minute work done, and someone comes in to “shoot the breeze,” “talk your leg off,” “chatter like chimp,” or be a “bird in a box.” You might try this.

  • Look up from what you are working.
  • Slowly glance left and right, as if to be sure no one is watching you.
  • Quietly invite your visitor to come close to view your computer screen.
  • Then click this link and say, “Isn’t this the coolest thing you’ve ever seen?”

Then just stay silent and stare at the screen. As a bigger treat, you might offer your headphones so that your guest might listen even more silently.
