Kyra_Ashleigh 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Believe it or not, when I need to prioritize tasks or remember certain items, I talk to myself. It somehow helps cement the ideas in my brain... mind you, people look at me funny, but I don't forget! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It somehow helps cement the ideas in my brain... mind you, people look at me funny, but I don't forget! :( It's very interesting that you say that. In my line of work, when doing something fairly complicated, I will talk - or rather mumble - to myself like talking myself through it. The funny thing is that I know MANY people in my business who do that. I used to work in a lab where EVERYONE mumbled to themselves when they worked (no kidding!). It was interesting to listen to - sort of like a constant low buzzing sound coming from the lab. Interesting, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is funny to listen to and work in, but goll darn, it sure works. I can't imagine not working without mumbling to myself - just too inefficient, and I'm not alone!

Jeanway 0 Posted May 8, 2004 (edited) Well, goll darn it nik, I do it myself :( :clap:Know WHY it helps you remember things? Because now you have involed two more senses, hearing and, well, ok, one more sense, speaking isin't a sense, it's an activity or action, right nik, helps you remember things because now you said it out loud, or in our case, we mubbled it out loud :( Edited May 8, 2004 by Jeanway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I have never thought of it that way before. You must be correct. The entire brain is involved in the activity, and by mumbling, the worker is better able to stay "in the zone" (as I like to say). Dang, Jeanway! I bet you're right! Well done! Excellent!
