Question: Where do you do your best thinking?

My daughter studies with her iPod on – I used to do the same (with my Sony Walkman) – but it probably contributes to her slower pace. Does it affect her retention rate too? I don’t know. Anyway, when you get away from school learning, there are probably times when creative thinking emerges. Short spurts of creative imagination probably lead to nowhere and are easily forgotten, but sometimes you might just get into one of those really deep moments and think that you’re a genius. I get my best ideas in the shower (can you think of another place besides the bathroom where you get 10 minutes or more of privacy…every day?). Sometimes, I get good ideas on my commute (if I’m alone and the radio isn’t on). Where do you get your best ideas? The strength of our program is that we create that moment of privacy and make it long enough to get somewhere. As icing to this experience, we enlist peers and counselors as a focus group to give you feedback.
