On the brain syndrome

It's a reality that everyone faces daily. It's supported and encouraged by all sorts of external factors and powers. It's been measured, weighed and found under no uncertain terms to significantly impact our everyday existence. It is, in fact, on-the-brain syndrome.

Now, you can't tell me that you are perfectly capable of maintaining complete and total focus every second of everyday. There's no way. (That's right...I'm calling you a liar.) Because, there are things that, at one point or another, are more important than, oh...let's say...work. And it is absolutely physically impossible get your mind to think about something else...ANYTHING ELSE.

It can either be the most overwhelming, incredible feeling that leaves you briming with energy and joy, or it can literally turn you into a pile of worthless nothingness. In my experience, it's usually the latter. Because nothing that overpowering can actually improve productivity. Let's be honest. If you're thinking about something THAT much...you aren't capable of doing much else.

Unfortunately, there is no hard or fast solution. You're just stuck, thinking. Not doing anything really. Just thinking. Until, well... you just can't think about it anymore. Or until you've convinced yourself that thinking about has gotten you absolutely nowhere.

Brains should really come with off switches. Maybe then I and everyone else with on-the-brain syndrome can get back to work.
