How mad is this? Someone actually had to write an article about why scientists need time to think:
Thinking time — the time needed to concentrate without interruptions has always been central to scholarly work. It is essential to designing experiments, compiling data, assessing results, reviewing literature and, of course, writing. Yet, thinking time is often undervalued; it is rarely, if ever, quantified in employment practices.

All of us (clever people) need time to think.
Take care, and hit reply and say hello ... (If you have time)
