  • My husband used to work night shifts. When he came home in the wee hours of the morning he would get undressed in the dark, so as to not wake me up. If he happened to make a loud noise like dropping his phone, banging his belt buckle, etc, I would wake up seeing a specific pattern “behind my eyes”, so to speak, triggered by the noise. With time I realized the pattern changed depending on the nature of the noise!




  • Same! The good news is that in real life there is an abundance of reference materials, but little time to parse them. So this skill is MUCH more useful. I have legit had coworkers tell me that my ability to quickly navigate long complex documents to find the one paragraph that applies to our situation is a superpower.
