USING TETRIS FOR SELF-ASSESSMENT

摘要

I don't like to be idle. Whether waiting in line, or riding the parking lot shuttle to work, I feel more productive doing something-anything-other than just standing there. So, I downloaded the game Tetris on my cell phone. What started as a time passer turned into my system to detect and deal with fatigue.rnTetris requires players to rotate random descending shapes so that they interlock together, leaving no space between them. It requires a fair amount of spatial awareness, sort-of like flying. I set the difficulty so I win about 50 percent of the time. Winning at that level requires my full attention; I can't play it half-heartedly.
