I love this post.
This is why you should make your bed in the morning. Also this is why paragraphs exist. And why math notation isn't linear. And why parentheses look like they're encircling the text. And periods and kerning and oh god I can't stop coming up with examples
I'm an extremely visual thinker, and I think I think about these things all the time. I wonder though, if this stuff is as useful to people who aren't visual thinkers. I've experienced having disagreements with people on what heuristics to use, based on the fact that the other person wasn't a visual thinker.
I also find that this has huge application to my computer usage. For example, I always put my cursor off of text. I always have the line I'm reading at the top of the window. I always strategically place my chat windows in the margins of websites so I can see them while reading the site.
I don't really see what this has to do with making your bed in the morning. It's not like we spend significant chunks of time looking at them.
Your bed doesn't have to be in your field of view to be part of your mental model of the world.
Also, you don't have to spend a large chunk of time looking at something for it to have a large effect. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if having an unmade bed perturbs your morning routine and makes it more likely that you forget your phone / keys / important documents.
Noooo, but I can't really think why else it'd be loaded, I don't think everything we know about is loaded into working memory at any one time.
