I've recently started doing this and has helped me find things much more efficiently. I project the image in my head, and make a mental note of the item's physical attributes such as size, color, etc. Once primed with this info, I go about doing a linear scan around my house.
- lamontcg 5y agoUsually I'm searching aimlessly while thinking about something completely unrelated and I'm not bothering to be focused at all. The first step is to realize that I'm about to start looking for my keys in the same room for the third time and to stop and actually bother to focus and to bring the task to the foreground instead of the background. Looking for my keys though is a minor annoyance and I'd rather be thinking about something else, so this isn't something I think needs fixing. It isn't driving a vehicle.
