Tip of the Day – Write it down on your Toilet Paper

Ideas come when you least expect them, but there’s no reason to be unprepared when your light bulb goes on. People always say that their best ideas come to them when they are sitting on the toilet. Feel free to confess; we all do. :D I don’t know if it’s because your body is relaxed, or because that microfiber bathroom rug is massaging your feet, or simply because you’ve got nothing else to do for a few minutes, so you just start thinking.

Well, so why not make that time productive? Hang a pen or marker from your toilet paper holder or keep it nearby in a medicine cabinet, and every time you sit on your throne, start brainstorming. Let your mind be creative and think about solving work problems, or starting new projects, or new ideas that could be patented. No one is watching, so there are no worries. If you do not have paper with you, just write down your ideas on the toilet paper, but write them down. Trust me! If you do not write them down, most likely you will not act on them. Once they are on a piece of paper, they will be more tangible to you and closer to becoming a reality.

So, start right away. After a while, your brain will get used to it, and toilet time will become thinking time, brainstorming time, and new idea time. Sooner or later you will have an “AH HA moment,” and you will be prepared.
