My biggest ah-ha moments are seldom staring at a screen*, but quite often it's at my desk with a paper and pen.
(The big exception is when doing profiling; the highest ah-ha-per-second ratio of all activities)
- mijustin 14y agoI've found that my screen is just too darned distracting. ;) For me, pen and paper at a coffee shop is perfect.
- weej 14y agoAgreed - that or a white board. A lot of times it helps to get out of the office if you hit a rut/wall. Just getting in a new environment and re-approaching the problem with a fresh perspective makes all the difference. I like to take long walks with my dogs and try to let my mind wander. Usually, I'll end up thinking about work or a personal issue that requires a solution to be addressed.
