Always Keep Pen And Paper Handy
Wouldn’t it be nice if ideas came to you when they were supposed to? You sit down, decide to be creative, and boom: you’re creative. The juices flow, the ideas are endless, and your brilliance just runneth over onto the page.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. For most of us, our creative and inspirational moments come at random, unpredictable, and often totally inconvenient times. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, and that great idea could strike at any moment.
1. The Bathroom
2. The Car
3. The Shower
4. By Your Bed
5. By the Phone
6. By the TV
7. In the Kitchen
8. In Your Carry-On
9. By the Front DoorIf there’s a trend to all this, it’s that some of the best ideas come out when we’re doing something mindless (brushing teeth, watching TV, etc.). Your brain, not being used fully, gets to wander and be creative, and out come vast numbers of great ideas.

This is so true. Ideas, thoughts and what i need to do always comes to me at an inopertune time. and then by time i get out of my car or the bathroom or what have you…i’ve forgotten the idea or even what i was going to do next.
