for me, its even more Slack for the mind. And i would have initially associated the benefits with creativity.
Im a CEO and have lots on my mind. i can use up all of my worktime to put out fires,… at home 3 kids, and lots of hobbies. So my mind is not allowed to rest it seem.
I usually had the most creative or problem solving revelations when i was traveling in my car for hours. I recently started with audiobooks while traveling. This affected me heavily, creativity and revelations reduced drastically. I also noticed this, when i switched from scientific work on a university to a business job. Time to think, reflect can only be found in slack time for me.
Same applies to workforce, if they have no slack i receive 0 suggestions for improvements outside their job. As soon as they are little bit idle, they start to think outside their box it seems.
Just wanted to share this, as thats the first thing i was thinking about but i would have put it differently.
