Clenching your right fist can help you remember details. It is argued that by clenching this fist, activation increases in your left brain, which helps encode memory.
Interestingly, research has shown that activities on the left side of your body, such as clenching your left fist, activates the right hemisphere of your brain. For most people this is the area of the brain (specifically, the right prefrontal cortex) that processes holistic “big picture” information, which enhances creativity.
Interestingly, there is some research that also shows left-handers are more creative but tend to have poorer memories.
