I've always felt like questioning the pithy sayings everyone takes for granted, but this one seems to hold up, in my experience. I notice that if I'm tired and distracted and not with it, I trend towards gossipy talk, and when I'm fully engaged and my brain feels like it's firing on all cylinders, I'm talking about some sort of idea. In between, it's mostly talk about things or stuff that needs to be done.
