Daydreaming:

Interestingly, I don't much (and I have always wondered about that). I am very goal-focussed, always problem-solving. Same for actions, too - almost always have a purpose, a definite aim. I spend my time thinking about things I will actually do, how to do them, when I will do them, how to do them faster/better/sooner... or in actually doing said things. Thought IS action (just adjusted for time).

Very useful - but I wonder what I am possibly missing out on...

I suppose some of the time that I am reading fiction is my only real break from all that.
