I like this article, mind wandering as a concept resonates with me in the sense that I believe it is important and good to spend time exploring thoughts and ideas without any external pressures, especially time.<p>But my gut reaction is it&#x27;s sad that mindfulness is being demoted in order to promote wandering. It makes a good story, I guess, to have an antagonist, but in my mind there is no conflict whatsoever between mindfulness and &quot;mind wandering&quot;. The insistence in this article that there is a conflict gives me the impression that the author doesn&#x27;t truly understand the practice of mindfulness.
