Laid back people are more creative
As my regular reader know I am a big fan of sleep and duvet days. I have had some of my best ideas in bed or on my yoga mat. So I cheeed when I read proof that we have our most creative thoughts when lying flat on our backs. Dr Darren Lipnicki, from the School of Psychology in the Faculty of Science at ANU, found that people solved anagrams more quickly when they were lying down compared to standing up. From now on I'll be able to get away with my little lie downs as 'brainstorming sessions'.
It's lucky that the TMet & Twisted crew are used to me. They are just as likely to find me lying on the floor with my legs up in the air as at my desk. It can be fun having an upside down business meeting. As for our dress code, on a cold winters day it can be eccentric to say the least. Big Ugg boots and a pink fleece with clowns on it. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be under my desk being 'creative'.
Hee hee, I can confirm this. MsB is usually found in odd positions on a purple yoga mat!
