What are you doing for your brain today?

Usually one either trying to find my glasses or trying to remember why I just walked Interior that room.

I hear you. There seems to be something in psychology that deals with going through a doorway. It’s called, fittingly, the doorway effect.

Imagine that we’re going upstairs to get our keys and forget that it is the keys we came for as soon as we enter the bedroom. Psychologically, what has happened is that the plan (“Keys!”) has been forgotten even in the middle of implementing a necessary part of the strategy (“Go to bedroom!”).
