Sometimes when I'm driving or traveling I play a game to see how long I can keep my attention external without drifting off into my thoughts. It's not that easy! Hi Komirad,

Most everyone is in a constant state of trance. Sometimes when I’m driving or traveling I play a game to see how long I can keep my attention external without drifting off into my thoughts. It’s not that easy!

I can stone for one hour just thinking while waiting for my lunch break to end, one hour while traveling to school and another hour traveling back from school.

I’m not sure about any official research done on the effectiveness of distracted sentencing. I’ll take a further look into it.

Double negatives involving uncommon vocabulary are very effective to induce such a state I think. Years ago, someone said to me: 'It's not as unaltruistic as I expected'. It took me an age to sort that one out and I have no idea what he said next. Knowing what I know now and recalling that particular person, I think he knew what he was doing. He was very popular with women, by the way. That gets me to the question: is there any research into the effectiveness of this technique or is the evidence anecdotal?

Makes sense too, the nonsensical gives the person that moment of confusion and then you slip something in! Very Interesting!
