Selective Attention

When users select items to delete, you could fade everything else and highlight only the selected items, so their selective attention lands on what they're about to lose.

Example from

T Mobile

When someone hovers over a 'skip' button, try making the nearby line explaining your recommendation glow, so it catches their attention as they decide.

Example from

Vercel

When asking users to add money, one option is to request the amount first and load in the other payment details afterwards, so their focus stays on one thing at a time.

Example from

When a screen has nothing set up yet, e.g., no filters applied, consider showing a literal arrow pointing at the control to tap, drawing attention straight to it.

Example from

Plane Finder

If an order is going somewhere far from the user's current location, it may help to show a warning on the payment screen, where their attention already is before paying.
