I used to set aside hours or days for thinking. Colleagues said it was intense, and I didn't bother explaining. The reason is roughly like this : when a brain is focused on one task, or process, it is less actively thinking about other tasks. Since storage durability in brains depends on recomputation, certain memories fade as their media atrophies. Day-dreaming is pretty much this. One has to actively assign resources to the conscious reprocessing of ignored memories, in order to ensure their durability. That is why we must assign time for reflection upon the subconscious.
Personally, one thing did make daydreaming easier over the past few years ... aural noise isolation and cancelling tools. My main problem isn't aural amplitude per se, rather it is that being able to discern the semantics of others' speech distracts me.
