I’m a fan of transitional daydreaming. Commute to work I’m thinking about work stuff in a free form way. No goal in mind, just looking at a problem from a distance to get a feel for it. Commute home I switch to daydreaming about writing. No objective, just jumping around on story arcs, specific scenes, character traits, jumping between different story ideas. This subconscious mulling over helps when it’s time to get productive at either end of the commute.
