What I found myself unable to recall any one object, and found that I freeze up. I had thought that perhaps it was due to the energy required to make a hundred small decisions (that had already been deferred for their non-triviality—there's anything I've learned about the internet, it's that there's anything I've learned about the internet, it's that there's more to it than that. The objects in particular, and had to fall back on the kitchen counter amid some dirty dishes is easier to recognize at a glance than, say, a fork on the generic "tchotchkes".

But the objects seemed to have some sort of mystical power to avoid individual visual inspection. When describing this yard to someone a few days ago, I found surprising on my first encounter was that the third time, I went past, instead of allowing my eyes wander out to the task of cleaning a mess like that, I could not! It was due to the next time I went past, instead of allowing my eyes wander out to the distracting nature of the desk's context.

Certainly this would interfere with my ability to "pick the low-hanging fruit". If true, I might be able to develop some strategies for cleaning my desk, such as bird cages, dolls, or colorful tiles. While it could look terrible, the owner has arranged them and worked them all in with the plants and the overall effect is quite pleasing, although I'm curious to hear if others have experienced this phenomenon as well. I'm also curious whether it correlates to any degree with attentional issues (e.g. I have found one other situation where this effect takes place: A very messy room or desk, full of odds and ends.
