Using doodles as wrapping paper sounds pretty neat.
But you are implying we can control our hyperfocus, which is not usually the case. For example, when I get stuck analyzing something, it is most often done at an inappropriate time or all the time and on something that may not be that relevant to what I am supposed to be doing. It is not that I want to hyperfocus on that, but that is what my brain has decided to do. You say to yourself, I should really move on to something else, there are other things to get done, but you can’t shift your brain to do it. Worse is when you don’t even realize that you are hyperfocusing and the time slips by and you don’t hear those around you.
