Why do we get our best ideas in the shower? - Navo

  • Creativity, while seemingly a very vague activity, is actually a distinct process triggered by a few key factors. 
    • A lot of dopamine is released in our brains. Triggers like exercising, listening to music, and, yes, taking a warm shower, contribute to increased dopamine flow. 
    • We're relaxed. When we have a relaxed state of mind, we're more likely to turn attention inwards, able to make insightful connections. 
    • We're distracted. Distraction gives our brains a break so our subconscious can work on a problem more creatively.
  • A dopamine high, relaxed state, and distracted mind: No wonder great ideas happen in the shower.The most important lesson from this is to make sure you have a way to capture your ideas whenever and wherever they happen. 
  • If you come up with a idea and tend to forget the idea, there is Aqua Notes. Aqua Notes is a waterproof notepad you can mount on the wall.
