Daydream Achiever
Procrastination was no doubt the most lasting skill I acquired over my years at the Institute, but it seems that the government is building on that to much more quickly ingrain in me an even more practical skill. Since I started my latest job, day after day, I entertain, torment, and/or bore myself with fictionalizations of reality, memories of the past, romanticisms of the future, and fragments of thoughts, memories, and conversations. It's odd, since I’ve never really been much of a daydreamer. Possibly because I've always thought of myself as a person with a limited imagination, and unless in a bout of obsessiveness, I quickly bore of my thoughts. But lately, daydreaming has become so encapsulating so as to provide with enough distraction that I no longer need the internet to keep me from getting work done. Seems I may just adjust to working for a government conglomerate sooner than I thought I would...

I use walking and train-riding (my commute) for this valuable activity. Definitely need my daily dose.
My first thought when reading your comment was, "I don't know if I really NEED my daily dose, it's just this habit I got into." But then I realized that perhaps I do. Maybe that's one of the reasons I so enjoy running on a daily basis, especially when busy, cuz it forces me to stop and daydream for a bit.
