If you are stuck on a problem, letting your mind wander for a bit may help you get unstuck. Research published in 2009 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) suggested that the brain areas that allow people to solve complex problems become more active during daydreaming. "Mind-wandering is typically associated with negative things like laziness or inattentiveness," lead study author Kalina Christoff, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia, said in a statement. "But this study shows our brains are very active when we daydream β much more active than when we focus on routine tasks." The findings suggest that daydreaming may serve to distract our attention from immediate tasks to solve other, more important problems, the researchers said.
