3 Reasons Why You Should Use Your Other Hand

Easy to use even for my dog

Have you ever seen someone uses his or her mouse with the other hand? I met some guys like that and I’ve joined them. Let me tell you why you should use your other hand.

Usually I’m a right handed person. Writing, eating with chopsticks and so on. But I switched to use my left hand to use the mouse when I’m working with my mouse. Why? Here are reasons:

1. Be more creative

Using the other hand stimulates you brain and it helps you to be more creative especially if you’re a right handed person like me. Using left hand stimulates our right brain.

2. Reduce risks of RSI

You know RSI? One of the most scary thing for people like me. Never too late to be careful. No cost required this way.

3. Can eat any kind of snacks while working

Really important, isn’t it?

You may feel uncomfortable for a few days when you switched but don’t give up! Just keep the new habit for a week!

BTW, the person who taught me the greatness of this hack was Ice. He can use his other hand even when he uses chopsticks! What!?

Here is my tool.

It was 100 yen, almost $1. Easy to carry, easy to use. Need both hands to take photos is a negative point but I love quality. How do you turn your iPhone into a macro camera?
