I'm totally unable to daydream. Never have for at least 50 years that I can remember. Can't visualize myself accomplishing cool things. Can't visualize how I'll look or feel after doing the much-needed exercise I should be doing. Can't meditate. I have been called creative many many times in my life but I can't daydream. About all I can do is create a mental checklist of the next thing I need to do, anything from a grocery list to a business I'll be running for many years. As a kid I knew I had to leave home very young and planned it perfectly, but that was a checklist, not a daydream.

If it's a big project like a complicated real estate deal, investment plan, large line of business program, or the business itself I am guaranteed to encounter zero surprises because I'm that good. But I can't visualize the kitchen I'm about to remodel or what accessories I should get on the car I'm about to buy.
