HI Friends,
I know one can think anywhere. Your mind works all day and night. I also think like that. But I also feel that my mind best works at toilet. I know it sounds funny but it happens. I also have talked about it with so many people and also got same reply. Do you think that place place to think is toilet or washroom?

I guess the toilet or the shower - I usually get my good ideas there, figure out problems and once I am out - I am more prepared and have decided.
Although a good place to think, I found out a year ago, is at a pool. You are swimming back and forth, so that doesn't take much thinking. I have figured out many problems, written many stories in my head and invented handy stuff, while I have been swimming.

Thank you for making me smile, when I read your discussion I laughed! But yes I think it's true for a lot of people, because the toilet is probably the only place for a lot of us to actually be 'alone' it's one room in the house where most people spend time alone away from everyone, thus, time to think! Perfect. For me however, I do find that driving helps me to think and for me it's the best place to be alone and when I don't have the music on I can think deeply and it's very therapeutic for me to be driving and to think plenty!

I get great ideas while I'm in the bathroom and also when I'm in bed. I think it's because both places are quiet and I know nobody could bother me there. I have a pen and a notebook in my bedroom and bathroom just in case I either get some ideas I want to jot down.

I suppose the toilet but I find my mind works better while I am out in the garden.

That's so funny! I guess the toilet would be a good place to think. We have so many things running in our minds constantly, but at the toilet we can literally "let things go" and thoughts just come to us! It's a place to actually be able to focus!
For me, my thoughts come to me the best when I take my nightly walks after dinner. With family, it's one part of of the day when I can be alone. My body is on walking autopilot, it's dark so I don't get distracted visually, and I'm getting exercise so blood is circulating well even to my brain!

That's right. I agree with you.
I often get inspiration if you are in the toilet. I do not know, I think whether intentionally, or automatically.
One time, I follow the company meeting. Meetings in the suspension for 5 minutes, because it does not find a way out. I use this time to the toilet. In the toilet I thought about an idea, and then the idea that a way out of the company's problems.
