According to an article by Benedict Carey in the Health Section of the NY Times, Tuesday August 5th, “boredom may allow the brain to recast the world in productive ways”.
“Daydreaming too can be a kind of constructive self-entertainment, psychologists say, especially if the mind is turning over a problem.”
The point is – don’t miss the opportunity to do a little day dreaming and you’ll find your problem solving abilities increased by the mental time out!
