Question:

Do you come up with most good ideas when you are having a shower?

Or do you come up with most good ideas when you are driving? Or whilst doing other things?

And how come?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I tend to come up with the best ideas when asleep. I remember on many occasions (and in particular my Uni days), I would go to sleep thinking about a problem, mulling it over throughout the night, then waking up in the morning either with the answer, or at the very least, a better way to tackle the problem. I suppose the best time to come up with good ideas is when you have the least distractions.

With the current water problems in Australia, taking a shower is becoming a more rushed activity. This is not good news for those who come up with their best ideas in the shower, as their idea generating time is being forcibly reduced.
