First, think memorable thoughts...
Have you ever walked in to a room with an express purpose, which you of course forgot the moment you arrived? Of course you have. We all have, and a new study shows that you can blame it on your brain and the door.
It turns out that walking through doors makes you forget things. It may have been proven before, but the findings probably got lost somewhere in the hallway.
The very basic explanation of this principle is that your mind perceives a doorway as an “event boundary” and compartmentalizes, so by the time you reach the new space your brain has moved on to a new chapter in your life.
Gives new meaning to the metaphoric opening of a new door. You really do start over every time you step through a new door, or at least your mind does. Of course, you can recall what you were thinking about, but as you probably know it’s not as simple as you would hope.
That’s all well and good, but I’m pretty sure a sharp, steel trap mind can’t be fooled by such barriers as mere doorways. To test this theory and exhibit the power of the mind I’ve decided to blog while working my way through a series of…Where was I?
