Ideas, notions, & creative thought πŸ’‘ I write a lot about solitary and group flow for total beginners ✍🏾20+ years in education πŸ“š

12 places my mind naturally generates ideas

(THREAD)

Often I am out travelling somewhere and an idea pops out of nowhere.

  1. Walking

  2. On a train

  3. When running

  4. At the gym

Somehow the physical activity seems to stop the chatter, and ideas start to flow

I am sometimes in dialogue and listening actively, and the exposure to others' thoughts generates ideas.

  1. In conversation

  2. Immediately after sleeping

  3. Sitting in my favourite chair (my thinking chair)

Ideas often pop up:

  1. In the shower

  2. In the bath

  3. Whilst writing

  4. Whilst sorting and organising notes

  5. Whilst cleaning and tidying

Now the problem is how will I take note of the ideas generated in these places...
