I've adopted this kind of thing. Watch-side, other-side (left, right,
respectively). Of course, it doesn't work during winter when i can't see
my watch when i'm wearing it; i can't feel it, but i can its absence.
So, i'll just have to wait a few months till summer if i want to tell
directions to anyone...
Of course, this doesn't always solve my problems -- i often say
different things from what i'm thinking, and i never have any
recollection of doing so afterwards. And, furthermore, some people
(*cough*dad*cough) seem to think that no information (and he never asked
anything, and no signs said 'Torquay, next left') while driving in
geelong=turn left for no reason whatsoever...

My elder sister can't tell directions, so she's reverted to the
time-tested 'that way'.
