I’ve noticed I do this without thinking.

You notice something that caught your attention.

Nothing is happening.

But before you look away, your brain wants one last second to confirm:

• where it’s going
• what it’s doing
• whether it changes direction
• if it stays where you expect

So you keep watching just a little longer than necessary.

Then once nothing changes, you move on.

It’s such a small thing, but it happens automatically.

Almost like your brain wants closure before it stops paying attention.

Does anyone else do this?

What’s something you tend to watch for an extra second before you finally look away?
