I’ve been experimenting with this method where I am using peripheral vision and various physical and digital objects as subtle cues to improve attention, creativity, and productivity as well. At least, this is what I tell myself. And peripheral vision is essentially a side mechanism of your vision that allows you to see with fewer eye fixations.
And we are using it every single day. While driving, while checking someone out, or while trying to cheat on an exam.
It is a survival mechanism of the physical world.
I found that organizing your physical space in such a way that you have various subtle cues lowkey telling you what you should do next, is an important feature of environmental design.
