Hi friends! First of all, thank you for being a reader of Low Fidelity. As you have noticed I am starting it back up and will be experimenting with ways to continually make this newsletter valuable to you. I would love to hear from you with any feedback you have. You can reach me at rizwan@rizwanjavaid.com :)
On to the exercise!
The goal of this exercise: To improve your visual perception.
As you move fast throughout the day from one task to the next, it is a good reminder to slow down and observe what is right in front of you. To really see and not gloss over important details. I think this exercise will surprise you and over time you will be strengthening your visual perception so you don’t miss important details that are right in front of you.
Instructions:
Look at the picture below.
Start a timer for 10 minutes.
Make a list of all the details you notice in the picture. Observe the big and small details. Challenge yourself to list as many details as you can.
Share your list in the comments.
