Idea Tanks

For me, there are certain places that just seem to foster better thinking...my idea tanks. Moving vehicles happen to be at the top of the list. I suppose it’s because I’m forced into fewer activities and distractions while in them. No kids or colleagues asking for a favor, no surfing the internet (although you can do that for a small fortune on most planes now), etc. It’s an office which forces me to focus on what’s gong on in my mind vs. worrying about what might interrupt me next.

I guess there are tons of idea tanks. Some people probably use hammocks, or a small corner of the beach. In any form, they breed creativity. Where’s yours?

Sorry, gotta go, we’re about to land.

I do also find airplanes, particularly cross country rides, to be great venues for generating ideas. Particularly if I have an aisle seat or have been upgraded, but that's a different customer service story.

Oddly entough, one of my best places for generating ideas is sitting in a session at a conference or seminar. Sometimes, if either the speaker isn't compelling or if the subject matter is particularly relevant, my mind will generate all sorts of ideas in the absence of ringing phones and surfing the 'net.
