I know there are some notepads that divers use but I was more hoping for something specifically for the shower that I could maybe stick to the wall like a waterproof whiteboard maybe? I've had no success searching online unfortunately.

I would recommend not doing that. The shower is for you the place to let your mind wander. If you want to capture that you will stress yourself and your last place where your mind was free will be gone.

Which is exactly why he wants to capture the thoughts.

Not everyone is like you, don't assume they approach the shower the way you do.

I've solved long-standing technical work problems in the shower.

I don't think they are saying that you can't solve problems in the shower, but that this meditative thought process is limited in the first place by an intentional work mentality.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago

exactly what I wanted to express.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is not true for everybody. Consider offering your view as an alternative perspective OP should consider, instead of presenting it as fact.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Where do I state it as a fact? No it is just a subjective recommendation.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Where do I state it as a fact?

Probably when you use "is" and "will"

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

Maybe also the generic you? Sometimes it feels a bit imperative like in this occasion.
