    Yeah, see, I even have a mental condition which should supposedly make that my problem more than that of most people.

      Aphantasia?

      I think there’s more than one kind of imagination. It’s like the opposite of ‘thinking outside the box’.

      Theirs is more like ‘wow this box is big! I’m gonna get inside a smaller one’.

        Not exactly aphantasia, though some kinds of imagination are close to that for me. Rather that something remote is very hard to imagine, while triggers, like sounds and smells and physical feelings and harmonic progressions, make something very easy to imagine.

        So if I know that I have to do something or else my head rolls off, the deadline being in 3 hours, I won’t be as concentrated as the typical person.

          That’s interesting, I’d never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren’t able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.
