Some of the best ideas have been born while in the shower. Novels, movie ideas and even problem solvers to relationship problems all tend to just hit people while their full of suds. Why is it that when we stand in the shower suddenly the brightest and greatest ideas come to us so easily?

You are shampooing your hair and suddenly it hits you! That book you have been trying to write, that problem at work or perhaps that “change” you have been looking for all of a sudden hits you like the wind. Of course, you hope you remember that brilliant idea when you exit the shower. Well, if you happen to have this newly invented waterproof notepad in your shower, then you are in luck for jotting down that brilliant idea and going about your shower business.

Let’s think about it. During the day you are flustered with things going on and already thinking or perhaps trying to ponder up a new idea. With everything going on it’s impossible to come up with anything worthy. In the shower, on the other hand, you are free of to do tasks, free of everything that has been plaguing you and that means your mind has the time to get that “voila!” moment.

So…need some thinking done about how to solve that problem at work? Skip the staff meetings and brainstorming sessions and hop in the shower!
