Learning how to Learn-diffuse mode thinking

"There is no specific practice for diffuse thinking---one can say that it comes naturally. The only requirement is, we do focussed mode tasks and then take breaks in between.

As taught in this course, taking a shower, going to a walk or a bicycle ride, singing a well-known song, any form of Phys ical exercise, and even taking a nap can cause our brain to work in the diffuse mode. Even indulging in semi-mechanical tasks like household chores or driving could help. But the main point was, focussed mode of thinking should precede such diffused mode activities, for it to be helpful.

Diffuse mode thinking was when we were not seriously thinking about the problem, and was instead doing other activities like Walking, exercise or sleeping. So, the diffuse mode first (with no focussed mode @ All) can is useful. A focussed mode first, even if a very short one, is very essential before the diffuse mode.
