Spoiler alert: there is no “right” way to daydream.
There are ways to construct narratives that can help you achieve your goals, but to steal the word “daydream” and slap it on a task takes away from pleasure.
Our problem isn’t that we don’t know how to daydream, our problem is that we’re taught from a young age that daydreaming is a bad thing we should feel guilty about. And now this seeks to add an extra layer of anxiety and guilty about whether you’re doing it right.
Whether you’re a fan of
or just let your mind wander, or any other way you prefer, you’re doing it right. You don’t have to fall into the capitalist trap that everything without a purpose is without value.
