Try turning the book upside down and photoreading it backward

In the Book Hare Brain, Tortise Mind How Intelligence INCREASES when you think less bu Guy Claxton.
He mention an experiment where a faint image of a letter is flashed before a volunteers eyes. Too faint and technically out of visable range (in other words... beyond blurred you really cannot see it) when the volunteer was asked to 'guess' what they saw they were correct well beyond chance. Because the couldn't consciously see it the volunteers had they habit of apologising for getting it wrong (when they got it right).
I gather 2 things from this experiement;
1. we rely too much on our conscious mind and judge ourselves poorly as a result.
2. We can see a lot better than we think we can... looks to me like the conscious mind interferring again.
I suggest you try applying NOPS to the problem. Try it and see, it's not likely to hurt as much as falling off a skateboard
