    I need to do some brainstorming / deep thought.

    Where do you like to do yours?

    In the past, I used to go to strip clubs to think mainly...just sit down, drink, look at the naked women and ponder life. Kind of strange but its a place I can just stare and not check my phone, email, TV, etc. Anywhere else, I can just surf the net on my phone, lots of distractions, etc.

    The gym with my iPod for a few hours each early morning.

    I won't ever give that up.

    Music, preferably techno/trance on the treadmill with Metallica and other loud music while lifting weights. Now that I think about it, though, I do my best thinking in the steam room or sauna after a workout. No music, no distractions, and you sweat out the "bad". :cheers:

    Sorry to interrupt this thread, but barfo, I was wondering if HCP signed some sort of contract that allows him to start stupid threads about himself. Threads that never seem to be moved to OT.

    It isn't a contract so much as a series of bribes and sexual favors.

    In the past few years I try to think about one subject for 20 minutes straight a day. Seems easy enough, but it's shocking how often life (and an unfocused mind) can divert you. Doesn't really matter where. Man do I get some great business ideas doing this.

    On the ergometer, stationary bike or elliptical trainer. It used to be when I went running, but my knee doesn't allow that activity any more. I also think well on the shitter.
