Hello friends!
I've noticed that I get good ideas at night rather than in the morning. Honestly, I'm not a morning person. And when I go online during the day, I find it hard to think of a topic or discussion to post here on mylot, or formulate some words for the reviews I'm also doing. I also struggle to even come up a status message on my social networking accounts!
But during the night, my mind is already conditioned, and this is the time I log in back here to participate in discussions and post my own thoughts. It just keep coming up naturally.
I've read somewhere that you must keep a small notepad on your bedside table, because some of the great ideas come up when you're about to go to sleep. Do you agree on this?
How about you, what time of day do you usually have your best ideas or thoughts?
Kindly share.

Hi msf,
Yup, I'm a night person. I rarely post in the morning. It's like my mind is still sleeping. 
Oh, I knew about you being busy this summer. How's the business going? Good for you. It's a nice distraction after all. It's still nice to see you here, responding, despite your busy sched. Good Luck and Gob Bless friend!

i even keep a notebook and pen handy while sleeping. i may dream about a good idea or dream where the pot of gold is and i don't want to miss it. but you know, in a day, we have various levels of productivity, comprehension, etc. etc. all you have to do is find that out and work during those peak moments to get the best results...

Hi bystander,
I like "dream where the pot of gold is..." you sure have a way with words. I agree with you, after we wake up, we sometimes forget about our dreams and best ideas so it's really a good idea to keep a notepad and pen handy. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Only!
I do my best thinking at night, too. Not only am I not a morning person at all; I have too many things that I must do in the morning and throughout the day at work and at home. At night, when I'm able to relax, I can let things flow through my mind without too many distractions or interruptions.
I do keep a pen and pad of paper on the nightstand!

We're on the same track. I do have many things to do in the morning, and night time is the only time of day my mind is conditioned and have a quiet time by myself. There's no distractions and interruptions, so I could easily write and post. Thanks for sharing!

I don't know that my best ideas come at any particular time, but when they do come it's usually when I can't do anything about it. I should keep a little notebook with me at all times. The weird thing with me is that ideas seem to come out of my fingers typing on a keyboard much more easily than through any other part of me. If I had to speak my ideas, I'd go blank.

When typing or in front of the computer, the best ideas can pop up without you noticing it. It's really a good idea to have a notepad with you, to write down all your thoughts and ideas so you won't go blank. Thanks for sharing!

If you are serious about starting discussions then you are in the right track. There are ideas that come across our minds when we are not in front of our PCs but these ideas are gone as soon as we get distracted. Having a note pad around is a nice idea to keep track and take note of what worthy to post when you come back on line.

I have a lot of ideas that slipped away because I got distracted, or I simply forgot it. Yes, it's really a brilliant idea to have a notepad to jot down all our thoughts and ideas as a reference later on. Thanks for sharing!

I do my best thinking at night right before bed. My children are in bed, and I sit down to read for a bit. Sometimes I get to thinking too, and get lots of thinking done during this quiet time.

Hi mssliss,
I agree that the best thinking comes during the night. It's the time you have you're quiet and alone time without the kids or any distractions. I think it's also the main reason I get a lot of good ideas before bedtime. Thanks for sharing!
