Reply to comment by Youfokinwatm8 in LPT Your body is on autopilot a lot more than you realize. Everyone's autopilot is an idiot. Life's easier and you screw up less when you realize this, and think intentionally and take actions accordingly so the autopilot can't screw things up. by 12jonboy12

When you zone out, you engage in a flow state and use your muscle memory to carry out your intentions. When you're actively thinking what to do, you're also spending time second-guessing that muscle memory, which can make you hesitate or mess up.

At least that's what I think, I'm not an expert or anything.
