the modern person: if i can't use incense sticks to build up an atmosphere and make my house smell nice, what else? diffuser oils?
Doug: what are they made of? hopefully something ok for lungs. check! but why not bake some cookies, you can add vanilla extract, it works! plant some nice lilies or citruses, and figure out how to get them to bloom in sequence, so that you always see and smell something nice around. or just bake more cookies with lots of vanilla extract, everyone will like you more!

if one chooses to be hopeful or spiritual, a temporary "what if"-"i have no clue, i'm lost" scenario, placed in your path with the purpose of making you consider things in a different light, for your own ultimate good, and, eventually, value the prospect of living forever more, among other benefits, without feeling bored, because life just keeps going...and going...and going...on, and on, and on...forever.

although mostly described on the internet as something taking massive, complex proportions, this is pretty much every moment when you choose to not focus on your actual life, and instead pick to escape to some other version of events.
also known as counterproductive daydreaming.
can you make a choice (most often a series of choices) that can change your circumstances in some way? if the answer is "definitely no, i am stuck here, for real, with no escape whatsoever, seriously", then think about working with yourself to improve some other aspect of your life instead. it will not be in vain.
an action plan that you actually plan on taking action on, but you think about a lot, will not fall under this category...unless you are a coward, and keep delaying taking action. that's maladaptive.
some consider this type of daydreaming/fantasising as manifestation, or, worse, as meditation. that is why they are, most likely, behind on their goals...or they just have unethical goals and the universe said: "denied!".

Doug's brain: it's summer. it's too hot. i'm uncomfortable. i am seeing myself engulfed in snow..making snow angels..skiing..making more snow angels (loop on last image)
some God: i'm thinking hard right now where to place this. might be maladaptive daydreaming, it's a bit of a gray area. the snow angels are a nice touch though, thanks!

something nice to do for humanity, especially if you have a less common blood type, or a rare one.
go figure out your full blood type (what's your rh, do you know?), and donate. make it a cool bonding activity that you do with your friends, family, significant other(s), teammates or co-workers, for the good of others...then go brag about it online to make it even more popular, but also to feel better about your selflessness, get those virtual applause and boost your level in the merciless world of online presence.
this can also be a motivator to keep yourself healthier (read it how you see fit, focus on what matters). would you want someone to get bad blood? obviously not! do regular blood check-ups.
also, check before you donate if you can. sometimes you might not be the best person to do so, for example, if you have low blood pressure, just got a tattoo or other skin procedures (wait 6 months), smoke pot sometimes (get clean first, you have bigger issues, you are making your brain mush), take diet pills or other medication that you should not, etc.

to overbusiness, the process of overbusinessing, a state in which you can find yourself (ideally on purpose)
to just succeed in business with pure nonchalance, to shake hands and close deals en-mass and be a serial hi-fiver, to have a certain flair for the money, to make it happen fast in a world where capitalism is law and be the alpha gamer of the game, to build an empire where few others, as a percentage, have dared to, to come out of every human interaction with a new action-investment plan, to be Starfleet, not Kirk, on your enterprise.
