I have my most brilliant ideas in the shower. Unfortunately, by the time I’m dried and dressed the ideas have gone forever – down the plug hole with the water. Try as I might, I can never remember them.
I tried writing little notes in the fog on the glass, but they disappeared before I could get them on paper.
I thought I was perhaps a little bit weird for having these brainwaves in the shower. It turns out though, that I’m not the only one who does it.
A Google search revealed so many ideas I’m bound to find one that works.
Here are some of my favourites:
- I should have known there’d be some GTD’ers with a solution over at The David Allen Company
- Jon Aquino has a simple solution. It would also prompt me to clean the shower more often. Brilliant!
- Idea Sandbox suggests re-purposing a dive slate
How do you capture your fabulous ideas?

I had to laugh when I saw this post – I was thinking about writing a post about having ideas in the shower! I was going to call it ‘The Cleanliness of Blogging’, saying how I had to have lots of showers to get ideas to write about. And then talk about how a gadget for writing in the shower needs to be invented!

Robins last blog post..How I found immortality
Robin,
I honestly thought I was a bit strange and the only one that did that sort of thing too. Now I find there’s a whole community of shower thinkers. I like your post title!
My wife and I are also hard core shower thinkers. We just began using AquaNotes a waterproof notepad. They also have an Aqua LoveNotes pad. The same concept with a red pencil for leaving love notes. You can order on-line…havent seen them in stores yet. http://www.myaquanotes.com
