Key takeaway of the book:
While, most of us are well aware of the benefits of focusing on a single thing. But few of us know that scatter focus (daydreaming) also has benefits. People who let their thoughts wander have:
- Better creativity skills
- Ability to connect multiple ideas and generate new ones
- Increased compassion and empathy, allowing them to put themselves in others' shoes
- Improved problem-solving skills
- Enhanced imagination and ability to think outside the box
- Greater ability to relax and reduce stress
- Improved memory and recall
- Increased ability to make new connections and insights
- A stronger sense of intuition and instinct
So, even Hyperfocus increases productivity, a pinch of daydreaming would play crucial part in helping us solve our problems and make ourselves stress free which is good for our mental health.
