This is so true -- I'm so much more creative when I've gotten away from tech and done something different, like be outdoors, gardening, even different kind sof household chores WITHOUT being connected to tech provide this benefit. When we went on a vacation to a remote location last fall with very little internet, I came back so rejuvenated and ready to jump back into creative projects. I joked about how it felt like I had been at summer camp for adults. :)
Thanks for writing about that.....it actually makes me feel better as my mind wanders when I seem to be concentrating on something which, for some reason nudges me into thinking of another subject. I do have to consider my age (84) sometimes wanders as I wander from room to room wondering why or where I'm going!!!!! Thanks Tracey.
You're welcome, Bette. I'm glad it helps! Seems like, our brains are just trying to make sense of our lives. And I'm sure the older we get, the more there is to make sense of. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Gay! From what I've read, that's good! After reading so much about it, I wonder if it's because we are focused so much of the time? Like a necessary side effect, or a release valve. I just don't fight it any more. LOL!

I love the idea of summer camp for adults! We can all benefit from time away. ; )
Thanks for permission! My mind wanders a lot, so now I know that it's a healthy practice.
You're welcome! It's probably why you're so creative!
Thanks, but I allow myself to enjoy life. I am "retired," after all!

My mind wanders all over the place almost all the time. It's a busy world, and too much to do! I enjoyed this post, Tracey.
