Could it be because, for many of us, it’s the only uninterrupted free time we get prior to depleting our energy on chores and work?
My creative outbursts usually happen while I'm doing my chores. My showerthoughts are usually doing-the-dishes-thoughts.
This is my reality. My ADHD brain never. Shuts. Up.
I use shoes to recover previously forgotten thoughts. Just put your shoes on, tie them, and you’ll suddenly know what else you need to do you before you go. Then you’ll just your shoes off, do your things, grab some more stuff with you, imagine you’re ready to go. Then you’ll put your shoes on a second time, and the cycle repeats. Occasionally you also need to enhance the effect by walking out the door.
I love showers. Would be unusual I’m not in there for an hour.
It’s the only time I get to myself. Once everyone is asleep, I get to unwind.
That's wasteful as fuck.
So is driving around for alone time
So is lots of stuff
Luckily I have a hydro electric generate on my shower drain. To produce electricity as I shower. Also my water is fed from a natural stream. It’s used to cool nuclear fusion rods along the way to me, that’s how it gets hot.
So really. Not much waste.
If only
Same could be said for many other hobbies/activities that people use to unwind
Yep
I only take cold showers. It clears my mind, blocks any distractions (messages and notifications) and traps me on the shower floor for 10-15 mins.
When I blast music while showering, creative thoughts mostly avoid me. I prefer the silence.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
