Improve Your Memory Skills by Bouncing Your Leg

 

So I’m a leg bouncer. When I’m working, sitting daydreaming or otherwise involved in any pursuit that does not require ambulatory movement, I bounce my leg. Turns out that this habit (which infuriates some people) is fairly common and, amazingly, very useful. According to this excellent question on Quora, leg bouncing and fidgeting in general (if allowed to happen) improves cognition. Apparently skipping can also greatly benefit memory retention.
