What kinds of everyday things do you do that put you in a trance state?

I like to do pattern recognition things. I like watching the surface of moving water. I also like playing spider solitaire. That can put me in a trance it is very difficult to life myself out of.

What kinds of things you do in your life put you into a meditative or trance like state? Do you seek these things out? Why or why not? What do you think of other people who zone out using these kinds of techniques?
