Are you looking for some time to relax from your daily routine? You can't go wrong with your dining table and a jigsaw. As we physically distance ourselves and staying in more homes because of COVID-19, jigsaw puzzles are a fantastic method to spend time. The health benefits of making jigsaw puzzle are numerous. They are a great way to reduce stress and improve your memory.

Being a healthcare practitioner is stressful at normal times but even more in the event of a pandemic. This is why self-care and finding ways to be conscious when you are not at work can be beneficial to your health. Mindfulness refers to the act of being attentive to the present moment of the task at hand. Puzzles are a fantastic way to practice this.

My dog's puzzle allows him to unwind in his "puzzle space" and I am able to forget everything else while I gaze at a beautiful mountain scene or cute pictures of puppies or kittens.

Puzzles can also benefit the brain. Research has shown that solving puzzles can increase cognitive capacity and reasoning through visual and spatial. Concentration is essential to solve the puzzle pieces. This helps improve short-term memory, as well as problem solving. Using the puzzle as an exercise in the mind can ignite imagination and boost your creative abilities and efficiency.

It can be a solitary exercise or it could be a collaborative one with a partner

It's a fantastic way for you to relax and relax after a long day. It is a great way to make friends with your partner through doing a puzzle together. My mom and I have always an ongoing puzzle whenever we visit family in Michigan. I'm looking eagerly to spend time with her collaborating and getting caught up.

Nothing is more satisfying for me than putting the final piece in place. It is a feeling of achievement. You will feel as if you're taking a short vacation.


According to the study, collaboration was characterized by those who were "border obsessives" and "opportunistic" puzzlers.

Research has shown that different people approach jigsaws differently, which can help to show your personality when you are in community or business situations.

Who would have thought that such extreme behaviours as players not allowing other players to touch their own part of puzzle storage or hiding crucial pieces are the kind of tactics that have been identified.

Research also revealed other tactics including hiding pieces of the puzzle away or keeping them in a storage area for later use. The "hoarder" and "border obsessives" had to complete the edges of their exteriors before they could proceed.

They are referred to as "opportunists" that look at the entire image and all the major elements of the puzzle as they work their way around it. Opportunists saw this strategy as a winning strategy, particularly when solving a puzzle by themselves.
