Do you take the time each day to stare out of your office window and let your mind wander? We get so wrapped up in task-oriented activities that we sometimes forget the importance of daydreaming. Studies have shown that positive daydreams are related to greater creative thinking, better understanding of ourselves and our coworkers, and improved ability to plan for the future. So let your mind wander, and notice if daydreaming helps you do your job.
