Yup, that's right I like kicking it old school with a jigsaw puzzle. I love puzzles of all types (one of my faves is Sudoku) and find them very relaxing. Jigsaw puzzles in particular are great for stimulating both the right (emotions, creativity) and left (logical, systematic) sides of the brain. They are also helpful for improving memory, problem solving, visual perception and coordination skills. And my favourite benefit? You are spending time NOT looking at a screen, giving your eyes a break in this tech-based world we live in!
