Need a favor? There's an ear for that...



The next time you need to ask someone for a favor – stand on their right side first... 

The right ear is the right ear to ask into. That’s because the left side of the brain gets its information from the right ear. That side is better at processing speech and language. Delivering that request into their right ear sends it directly to the more amenable part of the brain – making it easier for them to process.

It’s also a good idea to follow your request with an escape clause. People are much more inclined to help if they feel they’re not being blindsided, pressured or put on the spot. Consider ending with “I completely understand if you can’t, I just thought I’d ask.
