Flowers and Skull Optical Illusion

I know, I know! There are lots of skull optical illusion pictures on the site. But there’s just something about them, ya know? Skulls are creepy, yet completely fascinating, especially when they’re hidden in an image with objects that are generally considered to be beautiful and delicate. Such a contrast is always fascinating.

Today’s illusion is just such a skull optical illusion.

You can probably easily see the skull in this image, but can you tell that it’s not actually a picture of a skull? It’s really a picture of flowers and other plants. The skull optical illusion is hidden in the negative space between the plants. This one is nicely done, and it’s one of my favorite skull illusions out there!

Today’s Daily Brain Teaser (Dec 07, 2015)

The Beast

It roars like thunder,

And rises higher,

While breathing fire,

This wingless wonder.

If it leaves its cave,

Drags us in its tail,

Over hill and dale,

Then you must be brave.

Early morning flight,

Silently it flies,

Slowly in the skies.

Hides before the night.

My kingdom at least,

To the brave young knight,

If you name it right.

What is this huge beast?

Check Braingle.com for the answer.

Memory : Do the Little Things First

When people get overwhelmed with tasks, a common problem is that the mind gets paralyzed because it can’t decide what to do first. Often, the mind jumps from task to task to task without making much progress with anything. This can lead to a cycle of ever increasing stress about the growing list of things to do.

A simple strategy is to do all the little things first. Find all the tasks that can be completed in only a few minutes and do them in sequence without letting your attention get diverted. Once you have weeded out all the easy stuff your mind will feel less cluttered and it will be easier to concentrate on the bigger tasks

This strategy is even more useful when you apply it to your daily life because it can prevent you from getting into a cluttered mindset in the first place. As a benefit, you will also have fewer problems with forgetting to do something because you do it right away. Anytime you have a short task presented to you, instead of putting it off, just do it and get it over with. One example of how to do this is with email. Whenever you get an email that you need to reply to, just reply to it right then and there. Leaving it in your inbox for later just leads to an overwhelmingly full inbox.
