Where/when do you do your best deep thinking?

**~~Aemma~~** · 02-02-2009, 01:31 AM

Like the question simply asks: Where or when do you do your best deep thinking?

Me, it's while I'm in the shower. (Get your minds out of the gutter boys, yes you all know who you are!

). As the white noise of the water rushes over me and the overhead bathroom fan whirls above, my mind starts to wander and picks up on whatever free-floating thoughts happen to converge at that moment in time. (Today it was the "Is-Ought" Post for whatever reason). It's a precious several minutes where my own mind seems most relaxed and able to freely think and just be. I seriously do my absolute best thinking in the shower.

Anyway, where or when do you do your best deep thinking?

Cheers for now!...Aemma

Well, Aemma, what a cute thread...

I would agree, good thinking does happen in the shower. But, living here my great shower thinking becomes compromised by the lack of hot water...we have had a new water heater put in, a new shower head, and still the hot water will only last 7-8 minutes and us women know the gods above know too, we need more time than that...

Oops this isn't a lack of hot water thread...?

I agree anyways that yes, good thinking in the hot shower does inspire some nice thinking...

But, since I can't do that so much, here...I will say my best thinking probably is either or 2 things...1) this forum makes me think.... whether I am trying to think of what to say...or trying to figure out what someone else is saying...

and 2) while being stoned and/or at the same time trying to post my most inner thoughts...

* Hope this wasn't offensive...

Duh! I think most and most great when driving ya'll

Since my work schedule keeps me awake until 5AM or so, I'm up later than everyone else on my off days too. Once my neighborhood goes to sleep, I love to sit outside and smoke a cigar or pipe under the stars. The silence, cool breeze and solitude make the perfect atmosphere for deep thinking. Most of my really good ideas come to me during these periods.

For me, it's when I relax in the bath. My mind drifts and all sorts of wild inspirational thoughts come into play.

I'm ashamed to say it but I tend to think when I'm on the toilet.

Hmm, I wouldn't be included in this gutter talk now would I????
Haha.

Anyways, I think best late at night. Seems I'm most awake then, though I shouldn't be.

I agree with the shower thinking.

I think best when I'm a little drunk off of bourbon whiskey late into the night.

On the contrary though, I can't think around a fire at night, I get too calm and mesmerized by the fire and achieve a zen state.
