(Related to idea or brainstorming
mania)
Obsessive brainstorming for hours or even a whole day usually
due to perfectionism and often results in no ultimate decision making on how to create your project (hence the word maladaptive (counter-productive).
(Notes:
Leading to fatigue, migranes, poor focus and even giving up
work to brainstorm.
It can come from perfectionism, worrying about leaving out important details that
aren't actually that important and fear of rejection / criticism).

Ivan is
always writing notes and not paying
attention in class. He even skips classes to write in his journal. Why? Oh, that's right. He has maladaptive brainstorming (MB).
