Practice. Some years ago I realized that it's essential for me to waste a certain amount of time. By "waste", I mean "spend time not doing anything that could remotely be considered a constructive use of time". So, just sitting, looking out a window, sitting in the yard, taking a leisurely stroll, reading a book that could justifiably be called 'brain candy', watching the equivalent kind of television program," and so on. The trick was to do it without feeling that I was doing something wrong. I started small - just a couple of minutes a week, and worked up. At this point, I may have worked up a bit too far, but at least I'm enjoying my "wasted" time!
