Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
Yes, this so much this. Especially when in 3rd limited or 1st. Notice what matters to the person who's head you are in. Not only does it help emphasize headspace and character, but it *keeps tue ball moving*.
Unless you are going for a super flowery prose meant to drip from the page like fresh paint you can skip so much and let the reader's imagination fill in gaps.
