Randomly things will pop into my head and I then immediately have to research it until I’ve gotten enough data to understand or satisfy the random thoughts or theories that came up (usually in the middle of the night 😫😅).

Haha, yes! And usually it’s something completely random. Sometimes, related to adhd (why does coffee help me sleep, for instance), or other musings (why is there always traffic at 5:30 am on the freeway). And yep, it’s always right at night! Probably because it’s the one time I’m actually sitting “still.” So my mind is like, “yo, perfect time to unwind with those boatloads of daydreams you’ve thought up!”
Same here, I try to focus it to make a list and (try to) don’t allow myself to wander of before 9 am in the morning. It can only be a task which I really like and is really important. Once i am focused on this, i find that whatever i am doing the rest of the day, my mind wanders back to this item, so i make progress on something which is actually useful
