This sounds like it’s probably useful! Will hopefully remember to try it sometime.
Hmm, I wonder if this is related to why balanced compositions in art appear more pleasant? If so, that implies a bunch of things abut generality of the balance concept, stretching from the enjoyment of art to the efficiently of remembering things probably means it generalizes to a whole bunch of other things. Potentially easy to test to—just have a bunch of people look at balanced and imbalanced compositions with one eye closed and compare their reported enjoyment to a control group!
