Food for (Unconscious) Thought

The old adage to "sleep on it" when making pivotal decisions received a bit of scientific backing earlier this year. I take it to mean that I shouldn't apply any conscious effort into anything I do, thereby following my unconscious mind guide. Oops! This post is a conscious effort! Wait... I can sort of zone out and think about something else while I type nonsense and then the post came from my unconscious mind and I didn't consciously think about what to write so I didn't break my rule to not allow my conscious mind to keep screwing up my life.
