<ul><li>The human brain is the most complicated system in this universe</li><li>Even scientists admit that - one doesn't completely understand the function of our brain, you just simply use it.</li><li>The human brain has a default mode network that functions when we are idle</li><li>Yes, our brain has a default mode of resting more which will be inactive when we are performing certain tasks, i.e, for instance - when you are working, checking your phone or email, doing any task certain parts of our brains will be at rest.</li><li>Now when we are doing nothing, the resting-state mode will be active in mind- wandering and daydreaming.</li></ul>

The Default Mode in Human Brain

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">An idle mind is the devil's playground they say.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">What comes into our consciousness when we are idle can often report from the depth of our unconscious</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Through idleness, great ideas buried in your unconscious have the chance to enter your awareness.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Resting our brain is vital to brain health & decreases the chances of brain-related diseases.</li></ul>

Idleness is important

The default mode network allows us to process information that is related to social relationships, or place in the wider world, fantasies we have about the future, and of course emotionsIt's simple to activate Default Mode-Find a pillow, lie back and let go of task-oriented activity. Look at great art, listen to your favorite music, just simply lie down on the grass and see the sky or just sit & meditate.It's doesn't matter what thoughts run in your mind, whatever it is - your brain is projecting data based on what you have seen, heard, & learned."The only journey is the one within"

Active Default Mode

Andrew Smart wants you to sit and do nothing much more often – and he has the science to explain why. At every turn we’re pushed to do more, faster and more efficiently: that drumbeat resounds throughout our wage-slave society. Multitasking is not only a virtue, it’s a necessity. Books such as Getting Things Done, The One Minute Manager, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People regularly top the bestseller lists, and have spawned a considerable industry. But Andrew Smart argues that slackers may have the last laugh. The latest neuroscience shows that the “culture of effectiveness” is not only ineffective, it can be harmful to your well-being. He makes a compelling case – backed by science – that filling life with activity at work and at home actually hurts your brain. A survivor of corporate-mandated “Six Sigma” training to improve efficiency, Smart has channeled a self-described “loathing” of the time-management industry into a witty, informative and wide-ranging book that draws on the most recent research into brain power. Use it to explain to bosses, family, and friends why you need to relax – right now.
