(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).

(e.g.
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).
