Anyone who knows me—or has had the pleasure of working alongside me—understands my deep-seated appreciation for what I like to call "dawdle time."

This isn't just idle time; it's an essential pause in our bustling schedules, a deliberate space where our minds are free to roam, explore, and untangle the complex web of subconscious thoughts that often lie dormant.

In these moments of mental wandering, our brains engage in a kind of free association, weaving together disparate ideas and insights that might otherwise remain unexplored. I've found that these periods of reflection are not just beneficial but crucial for creative breakthroughs. Whether it's during a training course, an online seminar, or a quiet hour away from the noise of daily tasks, it's in these spaces that my mind tends to burst with new, sometimes unconnected, ideas—some find their place in ongoing projects, while others wait patiently for their turn.
