Have you ever felt when you were being chased by a deadline but your mind was still running in place? It even makes you dizzy because time is running out and it's not done yet. Aaaa… it must be stressful?

Ideas can indeed appear anywhere because actually ideas can come at unexpected times and places. But there is something 'unusual' or interesting to talk about, which is finding ideas in the bathroom. Yes, the space you usually use to shower, pee, and even wash it. Or even among you do it often?

The toilet is the most appropriate 'lonely' place to avoid outside disturbances

When you are in the bathroom, you must be alone.

At that time, you will not accept distractions and will not be distracted by what is happening outside.

Well, this is what makes you focus. When you focus, the brain will issue a kind of signal that can deliver an idea that comes unexpectedly.

You can still think about a lot of things, even if it's in the toilet

What can you do in the toilet besides washing and peeing? Definitely think. When on the toilet, you feel quite safe and undisturbed. That's when the imagination, ideas, and thoughts hidden in the brain will reveal themselves.

If that's the case, you should prepare a small notebook so that the idea doesn't just disappear.

The bathroom is the easiest and cheapest place to contemplate, you don't even need to leave the house

When you experience a deadlock of ideas, then what you need is meditation or meditating somewhere. Instead of going all the way to the mall or coffee shop to get a glimmer of hope, it's better to just go to the toilet.

You can think about a lot of things there.

When on the toilet, you rarely bring your electronic devices. As a result, your brain is more free; without distraction

When you go to the toilet, you must leave your smartphone and electronic devices.

When you're not holding a smartphone or other electronic device, your mind can be playful and free.

Far from technology, it also makes your head overflow.

Activities in the toilet are monotonous activities that can actually trigger creativity

Investigate a calibaration, humans are more able to think creatively when they do monotonous things, such as exercising, listening to music, fishing, or taking a bath. The routine doesn't need to 'think a lot' so your subconscious can start to wander far away.

Even Albert Einstein also got the best ideas when on the toilet in his words, "Why is it I always get my best ideas while shaving?"

Because when you shower, dopamine is released in the brain. This hormone will help you make decisions

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter – an endogenous organic compound that carries signals between brain neurons – that helps control the pleasure and satisfaction centers of the brain.

Dopamine also helps regulate emotional actions and responses, making it possible to appreciate and take action.

Thus, dopamine has a great effect on the good and positive side. The flow of dopamine can be triggered by monotonous activities as mentioned above. High dopamine, the body in a relaxed state, of course bring up new ideas.

Different from other places, the ideas that appear in the toilet are usually more 'wild'

The idea that appears in the toilet, will be different if you think hard in the office, in the room, or in the classroom.

This is because the prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain involved in regulating human personality traits – is not in a tense state that can block creative ideas from coming.

That's the reason why the idea that will come from the toilet will be different, cooler, and more 'wild' than from other places.

Discover the “Eureka!” moment You're like Archimedes when you're in the bathroom

Who does not know Archimedes? He was a famous Greek mathematician and inventor. But do you know, how Archimedes' Law was obtained? Believe it or not it was Archimedes' bath time.

One day, Archimedes was asked by King Hieron II to investigate whether the king's golden crown was laced with silver or not without damaging the crown.

So serious thinking, he felt so tired that he threw himself in a bathtub full of water.

Then he noticed water spilled on the floor and immediately found the answer shouting “Eureka! Euerka!” which means “I've found it! I've found it!"

Yes, of course you can also create “Eureka!” moments. like that!

Of course, not everyone gets the idea in the toilet. There are some of them who come up with ideas before they fall asleep, while observing something, listening to stories, and many others. You must have amazing ideas, what you don't know is how to overcome obstacles to pouring those ideas out.
