Your example is a reactive event. Something happened in your environment.
This idea is more useful for situations that you are initiating, and where feedback is not immediately obvious.
An example could be turning your car’s lights on at night. Before starting the car, you force yourself to point to the switch, say “lights on”, and do it.
I use this with keys. When leaving my office, house, or car, I hold up the key in my hand and establish sight (I don’t say anything out loud). Then I lock the door.
