I noted this to most of my friends, but recently I'm trying to use more of the right side of my brain to function and do other tasks that require mechanical work. In ways this helps silences the left side of my brain, and in effect makes it much more effective in work. I brought this idea up when I read "Drawing on the right side of the brain". The left side of the brain is more abstract ideas, whereas the right side is for more mechanical ideas.

I can only access it right now through typing (infact I'm doing so right now). The thing is, when you concentrate on typing, I feel that sometimes the left side of the brain thinnks faster than the right side...usually. It is just that sometimes the left side realizes the idea of a "word" such as "the" and when it does, your mind accepts it right away. However if you do make a spelling mistake, it still accepts it, because the "symbol" of the word "the" is so ingrained into your mind that usually it's too late for your right brain to actually notify you that "hey you fucked up".

So even the word "teh" would = "the" because the left side of the brain acknowledges that it is such, even after the fact that the right side of the brain would try to correct it. That is why often there is hesitation and you do not just stroll over your mistake. So I hope I can apply this to work in general in order to actually work better....or at least like I used to.
