4. When you're happy
5. Collaborating with a partner
6. Daydreaming
7. Analyzing a problem
8. Driving
9. Commuting to and from work
10. Reading books in your field
And here are the bottom ten:
70. Swimming

73. Playing a sport
74. When you're sad
75. Mowing the lawn

Comments
You forgot "sitting on the potty" or "in the shower!" These are on my top ten; I'm surprised they didn't make the list (though a bit crude).
