Stand in line without your phone once. Your brain has been waiting for a turn to think.

Empty minutes used to be where things connected, and there are hardly any left. Every gap has something in it now, so the thinking that once happened while waiting for a bus never gets a slot. Your head is not broken. It is queued behind everything else.

Stand in one line this week with the phone in your pocket. The post office, the coffee place, the ten minutes before practice. The first two minutes are boring and the rest is where you work out what you actually think.
