Underthinking: When You're So Busy Thinking, You Forget to Think

It starts innocently enough: a simple thought experiment, a clever idea, a witty remark. But soon enough, you're so deep in your own head that you forget what you're thinking about in the first place.

Example 1: The Overthinker

Meet Bob, who spent 4 hours contemplating the meaning of life. He wrote 17 pages of notes, but forgot to eat his lunch. And his cat.

Example 2: The Underthinker

Meet Jane, who thought she had an idea, but actually just stared at a wall for 5 hours. Her cat thought it was just another staring contest, though.
