Take a walk in the park, smoke some weed...
Seriously though, something happens out there, from my perspective subconsciousness talks to me, slips notes with various reminders that I utterly forgot for weeks, or makes connections to things I never thought about before. I think it is because its so natural to walk for us, our consciousness is completely free.
And on weed, alone (important part, if I am with somebody my focus is on communication and not some inner voices), this flow of thoughts and ideas becomes so intense that I usually have to stop and start typing them into some notepad in phone, otherwise they will be forgotten within minutes (the curse of short term memory effect of weed).
I've come up with at least 20 different startup ideas among other things, some entirely out of software engineering (my daily job). Some of them look a bit moonshot-ish in hindsight, some I found out somebody else already did without my prior knowledge (ie self-belaying device for climbing), some just look hard but doable.
- panchicore3 8y agoThere is something I didn't like about the weed and it was that it flushes my short-time cache very often, in the end, I had nothing to take away if I wrote it, it wasn't clear enough. So weed can differ a lot in other people's minds, hence your downvotes I think :) IMO I can mention 2 correlated factors, Some of us are kinetic thinkers and we need the movement to accelerate the clock and effect more misfires causing "aha moments". And blood speed and pressure is a thing in our brains. Personally, I have found myself in situations where a problem's solution is presented very clearly in the middle of a low pace run (7 mins per km) and immediately go back to my shelter with something new to try out.
- kevindqc 8y agoI've heard CBD helps with the creativity, but without the downside of short-term memory loss. Maybe something to try.
