The New York Times wrote about a Harvard study about wandering minds. Fascinating excerpt:
On average throughout all the quarter-million responses, minds were wandering 47 percent of the time. That figure surprised the researchers, Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert. “I find it kind of weird now to look down a crowded street and realize that half the people aren’t really there,” Dr. Gilbert says.Reminds me of the TED talk on Mindfulness by Andy Puddicombe.
