So for me, that's a big bulletin board that I cover with Post-it notes that I can then move around and rearrange. And I find that getting information and ideas out of my head and seeing it spread out that way and being able to manipulate it allows me to think differently

That's right. And what you're saying there, Mike, brings out the point that we're already extending our minds. This isn't something that we need to start doing so much as something that we need to be more thoughtful and intentional about what we're doing already. We want to think, for example, about the point that you just made that the brain is not a great place to store information.

It is a great place to do higher level cognitive activities like planning and creating and imagining. So the more we can intentionally think. use our devices and other tools and outside the brain resources to take care of the more mundane and routine tasks that we might usually lean on our brain for, like remembering things and keeping things in order.

If we can bring in outside the brain resources to do that for us, then we free up mental bandwidth to do the things that only human brains can do.

Yeah, so one of my favorite lines of research about how we think with our bodies concerns how we think with gestures. And a lot of us, if we think about gestures at all, which mostly we don't, but if we think about gestures at all, we think about them as communicative devices, like they're a way to communicate what we're trying to say to another person.

And they do play that function, but they are also a part of our own thinking. And what research shows is that our hand gestures are actually a few milliseconds ahead of our verbal expression and even of our conscious thoughts.

So before we even are saying something in particular and before we even know that we're gonna say something in particular, our hands are actually beginning to express that for us. And if we pay more attention to our own gestures and if we allow ourselves to gesture freely instead of inhibiting our gestures as many of us do,
