Sometimes your thoughts just won’t stay at the place where you want them to be. Don’t worry, there is an upside to losing focus. Along with letting our minds ‘decompress’ after consuming mass amounts of information like most do in today’s world, mind-wandering can be a gateway to creativity. Staying focused on one item and attempting to find a single right answer to a well-defined problem is known as “convergent thinking”, and sometimes you’ll simply need this rational way of thinking. But more often, you’ll need creativity to help you out, and for that, you need “divergent thinking” to be able to come up with lots of potential answers to your problem. Mind-wandering will lead to higher levels of divergent thinking. So it’s OK to step into your daydream right now.
Try to unfocus more often, and enjoy the benefits of divergent thinking
