Man, did this resonate with me: some of my some of my best ideas, my most profound revelations have occurred while strolling and allowing myself to be swept up with what's happening around me. It doesn't happen with driving, and happens less with cycling. You must be on-foot.
I'd encourage anyone reading this who hasn't before/in a while: make some time where you have no time constraint, and go stroll.
Leave your watch, your phone. Wander past the point of feeling like "I should go back now" or "I want to go work on that thing." Don't suppress the thoughts of things you should be doing … but allow your curiosity to be tickled by whatever's around; follow it.
