I find myself spending a long time trying to figure out a particular problem (without much success), but I've noticed that I'm often most productive (or creative?) when I least expect it:
- Walking home across the Bridge
- Standing on the train (I must get some weird looks, as my eyes tend to dart about)
- In the shower
- When trying to sleep, when I have to be up early the next day (usually before an exam)
- When bored in a lecture
In these situations, an idea pops into my head, my mind starts racing - it's like a fog has been lifted away - and the solutions to the problem just "appear", one after the other. Perhaps it's because (unlike every other second of the day), I'm not thinking/worrying about anything, and I'm able to really think about the problems (without interruptions and other worries). It's an interesting feeling, anyway.
(Here ends my, er… philosophical quota for the month.)
