THE PROS AND CONS OF MIND WANDERING


Mind wandering is often equated with being distracted but nothing can be further from the truth. The latter has a lot of negative connotations and so, according to many, does the former. As a result, mind wandering has been given a bad rap but is this fair? Do your research and determine what the differences between distractions and mind wandering are and then pinpoint the advantages and disadvantages. Finally write your essay.
