heedless

A preoccupied person may seem listless and thoughtless, but the really listless and thoughtless have not mental energy to be preoccupied.

One who is preoccupied is intensely busy in thought; one may be absent-minded either through intense concentration or simply through inattention, with fitful and aimless wandering of thought.
