I think it's because there are no other distractions - can't check email, twitter, etc. Tends to quiet my mind long enough to think.<BR/><BR/>Good question.<BR/><BR/>PaulPaul Roetzerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16908418271449506465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698710242876988223.post-18476585615542064232008-12-25T18:41:00.000-05:002008-12-25T18:41:00.000-05:00just wanted to wish you a Very Merry Christmas!<BR/><BR/>-steve @ <A HREF="http://fluxlife.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">fluxlife</A>fluxlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604421575007217938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698710242876988223.post-62164496909812089932008-12-03T16:18:00.000-05:002008-12-03T16:18:00.000-05:00Hey Kati<BR/>I am always amazed at brainstorming. Usually it is a bunch of people in a room where someone says, "here is the concept, come up with ideas". We all know the rules but as my good friend Yvonne (@IdeasCulture) says, no one guides you on how to come up with the ideas.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of multiple sides dice (like 20 or 12 sides) with each side corresponding to a letter which has to be the first letter of the word you use. Roll them a few times to get the creative juices flowing.<BR/><BR/>Just a thought!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy<BR/><BR/>Warwick Merry<BR/>The Get More Guy<BR/>www.warwickmerry.com<BR/>@WarwickMerryWarwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02866456209184673424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698710242876988223.post-75428722458641719432008-12-03T14:01:00.000-05:002008-12-03T14:01:00.000-05:00Hi Don--<BR/><BR/>Nope, the typo was not supposed to be there. Too busy trying to find my own personal utopia I guess...To a certain extent, it is "adver-siting", depends on how you look @ it... haha. Thanks for the heads up!Katihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11487243184637750396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698710242876988223.post-61215248409938732652008-12-03T13:33:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:33:00.000-05:00Is your website supposed to have a typo?<BR/><BR/>Adversiting? Funny.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, brainstorming in the shower is by far the best. If only I could take notes in there.

Its hard to have your game face on 100% of the time. For me, I do my best work at about 1am after a day of work. It's usually when I am laying in bed, about to fall asleep... I jump up, flip on the light, and grab a pen.<BR/><BR/>The phone recording idea is an interesting one. I've gone as far as sending myself text messages when I'm out and about. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment! I really enjoy reading where everyone retreats to pull themselves out of the creative rut.Katihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11487243184637750396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698710242876988223.post-80813781950301333532008-12-03T12:52:00.000-05:002008-12-03T12:52:00.000-05:00Hi Kati, Your Twitter community seems to have it right. I think I need a way to transcribe my thoughts in the shower because that is the place I can think most clearly and creatively. I also think best when I am energized, early in the day, and coffee does help! My new phone has a recorder (finally) because I found when I walked the dog to the river, I always had ideas that would be gone by the time I got home. <BR/><BR/>Creatively Stuck is something that all of us experience and those of us in more creative fields probably experience it more frequently.Julie Walravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01832620734609150734noreply@blogger.com
