Right brain, left brain

Try this as you are reading the directions. I did it, and trust me: it's annoying...

1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.

Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about
it.

This WILL drive you crazy.

You can overcome it with time and practice. Much like learning to pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time.

Yes - one of my fencing instructors once made us learn to do it to improve our motor control/precision. I had it down by the next week - it doesn't really take time so much as a refusal to get bored.
