I’ve noticed my brain lately has been doing this thing where I’m watching something cool and it goes, “hey, wouldn’t it be cool if <exact thing I’m watching>?”
Well, yeah, but why are you activating the “I have a cool variant idea related to this” pathways and distracting me instead of just watching how this one plays out?
I often find myself getting distracted from whatever I’m watching because my brain takes over and starts making up alternative scenarios.
