Mind & EverydayFact
Nearly half your day, you're thinking about something else.
In 2010 Killingsworth and Gilbert sampled 2,250 adults at random moments via an app. In 46.9 percent of samples their minds were elsewhere – at least 30 percent during every activity. Mind-wandering went with worse mood, including at a time lag.
Useful: Your mood tracks whether you're mentally present, more than what you're doing.
