We Spend Half of Our Time Daydreaming

New research from Harvard University shows people spend nearly half of their waking hours daydreaming, and not thinking about what they are actually doing.

Moreover, they say this mind wandering is a sign of unhappiness. The study, to be published in the journal ‘Science’, surveyed the thoughts and moods of over 2,200 volunteers. The participants downloaded an iPhone app and sent more than 250,000 messages during the day and night. Re-searchers Matthew Killingsworth and Daniel Gilbert conclude that most of us are in another world for more than 46 % of our waking hours, and that means we are unhappy: “A human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind,” they said.
