When you think of something, it (as a whole) is your chief focus:
When news of the fire was announced, he could only think of this family.
'How could you do such a thing? Didn't you think of me?'
When you think about something, your focus is less intense:
In your last year at school, there are many things to think about - work, money, where to live.
But the two seem to me quite close and sometimes overlapping in meaning.

hi!
Can you show me the difference between "think of" and "think about"?
thanks!
