Is Zoning Out Productive?

Zoning out, spacing out, daydreaming are all the same thing. Most people see it as bad and feel guilty for being unproductive. But it turns out it has it's benefits too.....keeping certain things in mind. Zoning out is said to be productive if it is done before or even after a task. It is said to be productive if people take a 10 minute break before doing an important task.... the creativity level increases and the task gets done better than someone who gets a task and jumps right into it. Many of us have our biggest realizations in these moments, when we zone out. Researchers say we should allow our minds to wander sometimes. It's actually more productive than it looks. They say the reason we feel guilt for zoning out is because we live in a very work based environment where if people can't see the work being done.... time is being wasted. But the mind is vast....we do so much thinking that the virtual world in our minds is always working 10 times more than anything physical we do all day.
