In an alternate timeline, humans mainly use showers to clean themselves.

Could it be because, for many of us, it’s the only uninterrupted free time we get prior to depleting our energy on chores and work?

My creative outbursts usually happen while I'm doing my chores. My showerthoughts are usually doing-the-dishes-thoughts.

This is my reality. My ADHD brain never. Shuts. Up.

I use shoes to recover previously forgotten thoughts. Just put your shoes on, tie them, and you’ll suddenly know what else you need to do you before you go. Then you’ll just your shoes off, do your things, grab some more stuff with you, imagine you’re ready to go. Then you’ll put your shoes on a second time, and the cycle repeats. Occasionally you also need to enhance the effect by walking out the door.

I love showers. Would be unusual I’m not in there for an hour.

It’s the only time I get to myself. Once everyone is asleep, I get to unwind.

I only take cold showers. It clears my mind, blocks any distractions (messages and notifications) and traps me on the shower floor for 10-15 mins.

When I blast music while showering, creative thoughts mostly avoid me. I prefer the silence.
