Personal Narrative: Real World Judgments
I have noticed in comparison to how others handle real world judgments on actions such as driving a car or stacking objects in a storage space, that I have trained myself to mentally document conditions so that I make better decisions as I visually perceive the situation. While driving a car on a multi lane road, I alway take aware of any side lanes. If there is a car ahead, I drop back to stay out of their blind spot. I put myself into their seat and imagine what they don't see by examining how their car is position in response to where my car is. What makes this hard is when riding in a car, knowing what I just said is not being applied by the driver of the car I am in makes me super nervous as the driver is assuming that that car is

I also acknowledge if there is a center turn lane or not.
If there is, I will stay out of the far right lane for people to slow down and turn right. The left lane will, in theory, have higher odds that the person will pull out of the way and into the center lane keeping a steady flow. If there is not a center turn lane, then I will drive int he right lane. Roads that have driveways on both sides of businesses will always have customers having to stop in the flow of traffic to wait for oncoming traffic. Driving on the right means I may have to reduce speed, but not come to a complete stop. Visually seeing the environment gives me better gas mileage when I apply these driving rules.
As for stacking, I played a lot of puzzle video games, and I worked in Mail Boxes Etc. Before the company sold to UPS. I learn how to sculpt boxes for odd items that were sold on eBay. Learning to shape a package out of two boxes allowed me to see how physics would play out visually. Stacking various shape boxes into a tight fitting stack in a small back room required a few trial and errors in stacking boxes for pickup. I have since applied the visual perception of stacking non-boxed items in storage units, moving trucks, and garages as I moved from various states to find work in my previous
career.
