The Power of Your Imagination (Part Two)
“The Power of Your Imagination (Part One)” shows how you can use your imagination to make an unpleasant existence into something more enjoyable. For example, while waiting in a long line, you can use your imagination to daydream about a morning hike along a mountain river.

Your imagination has several other powerful uses.
“Imagination could be classified as the ability to create or forecast a future or to create, change or destroy a present or past.” -- L. Ron Hubbard
Increase Your Productivity
Your imagination can make you more efficient. Try this: List all the tasks you want to complete today.
Before you start, take a few seconds to imagine yourself completing everything on time.
When you imagine the successful completion of a task, plan or goal, you are not easily sidetracked. You know how to make progress. It's like having a mental road map to follow.
Break Bad Habits
For example, you want to quit smoking cigarettes. So you create a future where you do not smoke. You see yourself enjoying a wonderful dinner in a fancy restaurant with no urge to light up. If you never change your mind, you work all day with no cigarette breaks. You watch your lungs clean up.
