How often does your mind function automatically?

[deucher]

For me, this is a situation in which I'm unable to even recall the exact moment and method of a particular action. For others, this is a major issue since it causes us to lose out on a great deal of life because our minds are constantly elsewhere and on autopilot. I experience this frequently; do you too?

I have experienced this on several occasions, but this usually happens when am doing something I am used to or I have been doing for long.

Certain things are done so many times that it becomes a habitual thing and comes naturally to us. Especially those that become part of our muscular memory. I do exercising, swimming, driving, cooking, household chores etc without using my mind consciously. It's on autopilot mode.
