In lab meeting we read a paper about gaze aversion and how you are better at problem solving when you look somewhere else. Like, instead of looking at the flash card where the problem is written, you'd look at the floor, or ceiling, or wall.
I keep noticing this as I try to write my papers and catch myself staring at the ceiling, or the corner of a table, or some other equally irrelevant and boring area instead of the word document where all the work is taking place. Because when I think, I look in other places.
This also explains why I look like I am staring at dumb things sometimes, because I am actually thinking about something else.
SCIENCE.
