I just hope that the people doing the study don't get distracted and forget to finish it...

Ahem, anyway, I had no idea that people found the concept of woolgathering so fascinating. I find it rather irritating myself, especially if I'm trying to get some writing done and my mind starts wandering...

Very interesting, thanks, J.D.! My mind is a big busy wanderer and thank goodness nothing bad happened as a result, the worst may be a pot of pasta burned to the bottom or keys locked inside... The positive side is the constantly derailing thought train sometimes kill the boredom.
