Mental time-travel is distracting. A wandering mind is an unhappy mind. You need to focus people on the here and now. 

BEST PRACTICES  

• Share the concept - explain how mental time-travel works  
• Encourage thinking breaks - allow time to contemplate 
• Build awareness - when minds wander, are they headed into past or future? 
• Plan travel - worry breaks are a good example  
• Prioritize the present moment - ask "how do we take advantage of right now?"
• Avoid multi-tasking - this promotes a wandering mind ☹️
• Hold people accountable - don't allow minds to wander
