Uncut Gems (2019) opening sequence by the Safdie brothers & Anna Kornbluh on immediacy in Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late Capitalism (2024) 

First: the two people decide why the ritual is being performed, whether it's to Find a Solution, Connect with your Surroundings, or to Know each other Better.

Second: whoever has the Important Pointed Object drops it on the ground.

Third: each person sits/stands/otherwise positions themself on either side of the Important Pointed Object.

Fourth: the person for whom the Important Pointed Object points Left looks over the Left shoulder of their ritual partner and finds a question in the environment behind them, whatever catches their attention most deeply. The question can be anything, but it needs to come from what they see in that moment and not any preconceived ideas.

Fifth: the person for whom the Important Pointed Object points Right repeats the question as exactly as they can, then looks over the Right shoulder of their ritual partner and describes in as much detail as they are willing something that catches their attention. There is no need to be constrained to physical details; they can take their description anywhere, like how that thing makes them feel or what it free-associates them into thinking about.

Sixth: the pair may sit in silence to think about how the description answers the question, or they may discuss it aloud and come to a conclusion together, or some combination.

Seventh: once they've finished pondering the pair of exchanges, they may either rotate the Important Pointed Object 180 degrees and repeat the process, or pick up the Important Pointed Object and move on. Either way, the original question has been answered and is to be left behind.

Use Description to Make Introspection More Engaging. Poorly assembled introspection is boring, explores the obvious, and takes readers forever to cull. Progressive introspection isn't about what has already happened, it's about what might happen in the future. Use description to ponder what a character fears (or hopes) will happen next. Don't hesitate to ask tough, specific questions: What are the consequences of a character's actions? What are the consequences of her inaction? Introspection risks dulling a scene's immediacy. But it can also enhance readers' investment in finding answers to stated, understated, and unstated problems.
