It is thought that we switch our dominance between right brained thinking and left brained thinking every 90 minutes.
Left brain thinking is great for problem solving, maths, logic, programming and language tasks such as translation or writing.
Right brain thinking is better for art, graphic design, creative tasks, music, sculpture etc.
To check if you are currently in left or right brain mode simply notice which nostril you are breathing through. You will notice that you are breathing in more through one nostril than the other.
If you are breathing in mostly through your left nostril you are in right brain mode and the best tasks are creative and artistic tasks.
If you are breathing mostly through your right nostril you are in left brain mode and the best tasks are logical, language tasks.
If you need to switch to the other side simply close off one nostril and force yourself to breath through the nostril you desire. There are some scientific studies that show that this can switch the dominance to the other brain hemisphere.
