Society has put so much emphasis on being “connected” and “engaged” that we’ve forgotten how to be bored. The shower provides a rare opportunity for you to be alone with your thoughts.
Don’t forget being 100% productive between 9am and 5pm every day.
Jokes on you, I lemmy in the shower, ain’t gonna let that brain have any free time.

I’ve been alone with my thoughts. Ultimately it leads to depression but sometimes I get some good masturbating along the way.
TLDR
Focus shift: Stepping away from immediate goals encourages “positive daydreaming,” a constructive form of mind wandering that fosters unexpected connections and sparks inspiration.
Reduced pressure: The relaxed atmosphere of the shower lowers inhibitions and anxieties, allowing us to think freely and explore creative avenues without judgment.
Sensory stimulation: The sound and feel of water can act as a trigger, stimulating the brain and promoting new thought patterns
I like to shower in as dark a possible a bathroom. I find it enhances the creativity effect by a huge amount. Also the slight risk of an accidental, life altering fall from not being able to see keeps it spicy!
