When do you do your big thinking?

My mind is most open in the wee hours of the morning. Everyone is asleep, the world is empty, and things start to clear up. So I wanna know when you do your thinking? What about that time makes it so? Is there a specific time, or is it sporadic when your big thoughts hit? Or is there a place that triggers your brain juices to flow about your big questions?

in the shower

My big thinking comes when im sitting alone somewhere and i am without the distraction of the busy society that surrounds me.

reply

When I'm riding my bike or running. Usually anytime that I have to myself.

i do a lot of deep thinking when it rains, because it seems as though the world is quiet, and its a peaceful time. It lets your mind feel alone (not in a creepy way) but just where you have time to think... and its just you and then rain.

reply

Oftentimes reading (non-fiction) triggers things, and off I go. Sometime later I try to find the place where I left off (in the book). It's all good.

reply

That comes after about 24 hours without sleep. I'm still trying to find clarity on demand.

chadsepe dido :)

Usually late at night. At a local pub I frequent. Not while drinking...just while people watching and listening to all the ambient noise. Noise helps me think.

reply

mostly when I'm taking a shower... wherever I'm alone or really focused on myself and not thinking about everything else

reply

I'm always thinking, so I don't believe there's a particular time. When a "big" thought just hits me it just arrives, no matter the time. There's often music involved. And/or driving.

reply

whenever I am alone.... (which is often, but I love it.... lol..)

reply

Pillow-talk with my philosopher-of-religion boyfriend (I am an astrophysicist). The different backgrounds sure lead to some pretty interesting discussions...almost all of which would make great discussions on this site. When not that, then when I'm staring at C-code at work and my mind begins to wander. The placement of non-intuitive text strings gets my mind going...what can I say?

reply

really, whenever. Whenever a question comes up, I think about the answer and it can built until my brain is running like mad. Or sometimes I just think about everything or have a big idea

reply

Toilet, waiting for a drive, walking. I've learned that before bed thinking is not entirely trustworthy.

reply

listening to mellow music

In the shower

reply

at night, while trying to fall asleep. the setting is comforting in that it is dark enough to fall asleep but light still comes in through the blind making pretty cool shadows on the walls

reply

All my thoughts remain infinitesimally small all the time... just tiny sparks of neural activity... barely existing at all. Only when they're combined with time, space, motion, and a little thing called love do they become big.

reply

I had the most profound epiphany of my life while I was high and sitting on the toilet.
