How can I improve my sense of direction?

  • Answer:

    The short answer is that if you have a bad sense of direction, it's genetic/neurological, and you're stuck with it. Still, you can improve you ability to use whatever sense of direction you were born wth. Learn how to tell directon from the sun. Rises in the east, overhead at noon, sets in the west. You can figure out general directions from that. Also keep attention on your environment, like noticing everything about where you've been. It will help when you get back there. You can use being a "detail person" where others use an instinctive directional sense.

I'm an absent minded person and never know which way is what. What I do to improve my sense of direction is to always pay attention when I am going somewhere, try to follow directions precisely, and attempt to better understand the area. Maybe Research more than you normally would about where you going, You're more apt to remembering where you are.
