Anyone else think better when their hands are busy? 🙋🏻
I read audiobooks while I'm sewing, solving visual puzzles, taking pictures, crafting, and just about anything else that doesn't involve words.
Today that's looking like playing with a new printing process while filling my brain with history and theory of nonbinary identities (in preparation for my ACES VCon talk next month).
Same! (And it was worse in classes where I needed to read lips to understand teachers. I couldn't doodle and all my energy was going to trying to decipher the words. It was so much harder to get to the meaning of those words.)
Not a weird question at all! I'm hard of hearing and some tones and some speakers are harder for me to decipher than others. And some environments make it even more challenging
