It’s when something is *right in front of you*, but you don’t see it. There’s nothing wrong with your vision; you’re simply so focused on something else that you’re not paying attention.
Everything thinks they’re good at multi-tasking, but the fact is that people are *awful* at multi-tasking. What we do is actually task-switching, where we focus on one task, then stop and focus on another, then stop and focus on another. If you tell someone to stay completely focused on a single task, then they might not even notice someone in a gorilla suit walking right past them…because they’re not switching to the “look around” task.
