^Hi! Welcome. You being here means more than you know. Knowing it lands wit=
h someone like you keeps me going. I'm ^^[Lavena Xu-Johnson](https://x.com/=
iamlavena)^^. I write about psychology for founders. Why? Because scaling a=
 business means scaling ourselves first.^

_Happy Tuesday, founders,_

_One evening, after an hour of fighting with my brain to stop thinking abou=
t completely random thoughts, right before I was about to fall asleep, an a=
nswer to a problem I=E2=80=99ve been looking for in the business for weeks =
popped up like a light bulb._

_It was one of those moments where the solution finally came up when we wer=
e not actively pursuing it. My co-founder laughed: of course, it was around=
 your sleep._

_We all have these moments: a seemingly obvious answer occurs to us when ou=
r mind wanders off, during a shower, a walk, or when we=E2=80=99re half asl=
eep._

_You=E2=80=99ve probably also wondered whether we can tap into these moment=
s more deliberately. To increase the likelihood, we first need to understan=
d how the default mode network (DMN) works._

### The system that activates when everything else switches off

In the late 1990s, neurologist Marcus Raichle was studying brain scans at W=
ashington University when he noticed something that didn't fit. When partic=
ipants were given a task to focus on, a specific set of brain regions consi=
stently deactivated. When the task ended, and they were left to rest, those=
 same regions lit up again.

The assumption at the time was that resting brains were inactive. Raichle's=
 data showed otherwise: there was a consistent, organized network that beca=
me highly active during rest, mind-wandering, and internally directed thoug=
ht. In 2001, he published a paper in which he named this brain state the [d=
efault mode network](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11209064/) (DMN).

The DMN spans the medial prefrontal cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex,=
 and the hippocampus. It becomes active when we think about others, ourselv=
es, the past, and the future (Buckner et al., 2008). For the overthinker, t=
he founder who rehashes a meeting on the drive home, who wakes at 2 am with=
 a question that didn't seem urgent yesterday, this network runs at higher =
volume than average. The internal monologue that feels unproductive is the =
DMN doing what it was built to do.

The question is: Does this overdrive of DMN serve any purpose?

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94

### What the brain is doing when it wanders

The DMN's primary function during mind-wandering is something neuroscientis=
ts call _**associative recombination:**_ the process by which the hippocamp=
us retrieves fragments from separate, stored memories, and the brain connec=
ts them into configurations that didn't previously exist. When two previous=
ly unconnected pieces of information suddenly cohere, the brain is pulling =
together traces stored separately and binding them into something new. That=
=E2=80=99s how an insight is =E2=80=98born=E2=80=99.

[A 2024 study](https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/91033/figures#t=
ab-content) published in _eLife_ by Grob and colleagues offered some of the=
 most direct evidence yet for how this works at the structural level. Using=
 transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily suppress a specific regio=
n: the angular gyrus, a hub in the posterior parietal cortex. They found th=
at participants showed measurably reduced ability to connect previously sep=
arate information into a coherent new understanding. When the region was di=
srupted, so was the integration (Grob et al., 2024).

What this finding points to is that the brain system that does connective a=
nd integrative work, and it operates most freely when external task demands=
 are low.

### Creative tasks: mind-wandering outperformed focus

In 2012, Benjamin Baird and colleagues at UC Santa Barbara ran a study that=
 made the above concrete. Participants worked on a creative problem-solving=
 task: generating unusual uses tasks for everyday objects, a validated meas=
ure of divergent thinking. Partway through, they were split into groups:

* Group 1 was given an undemanding task during a break.

* Group 2 was given a demanding task, and one had no break at all.

Compared with all other conditions, [the mind-wandering group showed substa=
ntial improvements in performance on the creative problems](https://journal=
s.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0956797612446024) they had already been worki=
ng on. The demanding task group showed no improvement. The improvement was =
also specific: it only appeared for problems participants had encountered b=
efore the break, not new ones introduced afterward. The DMN hadn't improved=
 general performance. It had been processing the specific problems in the b=
ackground during the wandering, and the connections it made occurred when a=
ttention was refocused (Baird et al., 2012).

Seemingly, the break gave the brain a rest, but it actually gave DMN the ti=
me and space to do creative work.

This is what is happening during the shower, the walk, the drive. The overt=
hinker's brain, left without an immediate task, is continuously running thi=
s integration process. For founders working with genuinely complex, non-lin=
ear problems, where the answer rarely lives in direct analysis of the probl=
em itself, it is one of the more structurally useful things a mind can do.

When our mind wanders, [the default network has two subsystems that are run=
ning](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3553600/) (see image below).=
 The medial temporal lobe subsystem (green) draws on memory and past experi=
ence, the material for associative recombination. The medial prefrontal cor=
tex subsystem (blue) is involved in self-referential processing and prospec=
tive thinking. Both are active during mind-wandering. The yellow hub connec=
ts them (Andrews-Hanna, 2013).=20

### What this means for founders: create more associative recombination mom=
ents

1. **Give it the time and space.** Value the undemanding time more. Instead=
 of booking a vacation or waiting for the weekend (of course, these are imp=
ortant too), create small time frames during the week for the brain to enga=
ge in associative recombination. In other words, back-to-back scheduling is=
 the structural removal for a perfect environment for the best creative thi=
nking.


2. **Expand the inputs.** Recombination can only connect what's already sto=
red. The breadth of what you read, experience, and expose yourself to acros=
s domains determines the distance between the connections your DMN can gene=
rate. Narrow inputs produce predictable outputs. Cross-domain reading, conv=
ersations outside your sector, experiences with no direct relevance to your=
 current problem, these expand the raw material available.


3. **Notice where your best thinking actually arrives.** Become aware of wh=
en your creative thinking arrives - when you jump out of the shower to jot =
down your ideas, note =E2=80=98shower time=E2=80=99.

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=

=E2=80=94=E2=80=94

### Key takeaways

The default mode network is not your brain switching off. It is a specific,=
 organized system that activates when external task demands drop, and its p=
rimary job is to pull together fragments from separate memories and connect=
 them into something new.

This is why the answer arrives in the shower or on a walk, not at the desk.=
 Focused attention narrows the cognitive search space by design, and DMN ex=
pands it.=20

The Baird study finds: the mind-wandering group improved on problems they h=
ad already been working on, and only those problems. The DMN was processing=
 in the background, and the connections came up when focused attention retu=
rned.

Here are the three call-to-action points: 1. Think of undemanding time duri=
ng the working week as cognitive input, and scheduling it out removes the c=
ondition the DMN needs to operate. 2. The quality of what you feed your bra=
in across domains directly determines the range of connections it can gener=
ate. 3. The moment your best thinking tends to arrive is data worth paying =
attention to, because it tells you something about when your DMN is most ac=
tive, and whether your schedule is working with that or against it.

Tomorrow (bonus issue of the week), we will dive into part 2 of the DMN: th=
e second mechanism. Episodic future thinking: how the overthinker's brain s=
imulates events that haven't happened yet, and what the neuroscience says a=
bout why some founders seem to anticipate what others only understand in hi=
ndsight.
