I remember when I was in school, often during periods when class was cancelled, I would sit in class and daydream. Slide into my own world. Or maybe think of about some incident that had happened and rewind it in my brain to rethink how else I could have handled it.
In school/ colleges, “daydreaming” is looked down upon as it’s considered a waste of time. Seniors considered that maybe in that time the student could get so much more done. Hustle and don’t waste a single moment was the common refrain.
Since joining a law firm - your mind is constantly racing - there’s hardly any time to day dream. Instead it is replaced with stress, anxiety,
and a constant need to achieve efficiency in work.
Do you ever think - maybe our minds need a period of rest, when we can just be and not think about getting some work done. Maybe daydreaming is good for our mental health?

Maybe daydreaming wasn’t a bad thing after all?
The tricky thing is avoiding the slippery slope of maladaptive daydreaming
I suffer so, so much because of that, and its very hard to control
