Left brain, right brain.
Left brain is more logical and words and language and linear.
But on the right side is your imagination.
It's your creativity.
So your creativity can go there.
The other thing is it forces you to ask questions.
I believe that questions are the answer.
I think it's essential for understanding, for critical thinking, for focus, for learning.
If you ever want to read something, let's say people feel absent-minded.
They forget where they put things.
Their wallet, their purse,
their keys, or if not their keys, something larger like their car.
You see the people in the finding, they forget that they parked their car.
They read a page in a book at the end and forget what they just read.
They'll get a name from somebody and they'll just forget it right away.
One of the ways to insulate that is to ask questions, to ask questions about something.
So for example, when I'm taking notes, I'll capture information on the left side, but on the right side, I'll write questions I have about what I'm learning.
I'll ask myself questions like how I'm going to apply it.
You know what the biggest challenge I have with the self-help
personal development industry is that there's this massive lie that's being spread saying that knowledge is power.
