We all hit mental blocks during our work week. Why not take a break and let your imagination run wild and free. You might be surprised at how a little spell of daydreaming will help you solve that tricky problem or clear that seemingly impassible obstacle. Here&#8217;s six ways to step outside yourself and daydream.</p>
<p><span id="more-23243"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Classic ViewMaster Model L with Scenic Americana Reel -</strong> Try a little nostalgia with your daydreams and gaze through the beloved ViewMaster toy. It&#8217;s the perfect desk-size daydreaming accessory. Get started with the classic viewer and a reel of scenic America.

<p><strong>2. Alphabet Factory Blocks -</strong> Employ imagination, spatial relations, physics, and motor control for daydreams that add real structure to your life. No login, Bluetooth, or USB cable needed. Just a hand or two and a tabletop. Start building at <a title="House Industries" href="http://www.houseind.com/objects/blocks/alphabetfactoryblocks" target="_blank">House Industries</a>.</p>
<p><strong>3. Spun Chair, Thomas Heatherwick for Magis -</strong> If your work has you going in circles, try unwinding yourself for a spell in the Spun Chair designed by Thomas Heatherwick.

<p><strong>4. M4U 2 Active Noise Canceling Headphones, PSB Speakers -</strong> If you&#8217;re having trouble tuning into your daydreams, try tuning out of your environment for a bit with noise canceling headphones by PSB Speakers.
