The System 439: Creative Distance

November 15th, 2010

Is this true for you? Where is your best work done?

Moustaches Turn Lazy Into Classy

In honor of Movember, I’m trying to raise some money to cure prostate cancer. How am I doing this? Again I’ve paired up with the amazing Bryan Prindiville and we tweaked the amazing “Beards turn laziness into awesomeness” into the new and improved “Moustaches turn lazy into classy”. If you buy either one, I’ll be donating $10 / shirt to help stop cancer, and you get a shirt!

So help me spread the word and let’s KICK CANCER’S ASS.

Never were truer words spoken. Did you know that ideas can come at any time if there are fewer distractions like: cell phones, smart phones, etc.?

Did Aristotle have a computer? How about Newton and Einstein? Yet, somehow they managed to come up w/ideas that changed the way people thought.

From the New York Times Tech section: But scientists point to an unanticipated side effect: when people keep their brains busy with digital input, they are forfeiting downtime that could allow them to better learn and remember information, or come up with new ideas.

Something to think about when you aren't digitializing. (But make sure you hit your computer to read The System!!!!)

  btw, my best ideas come when I am taking a walk or eating chocolate.

My best ideas usually come when I'm walking. Maybe the computer is a drain on ideas.

  Computers are where I tend to present ideas, but they're not where I come up with them. Unless I'm writing and the ideas are sort of arriving on the fly.

My best writing ideas come when I'm freethinking in the shower. I think half of my songs start with my empty mind mulling random lyrics over towards the end of the evening or in the shower, when I have a full day off and am rested. On the other hand, some of my best ideas/catchphrases come from talking things over with others. "I'm too young to feel this old" and "Lame is an anagram for Male" were the result of me joking with coworkers, for example. I guess my snippy stuff comes from talking to others, and more creative/artistic stuff comes from digging within myself.

Oh, and computers are usually not involved in any of the creativity. If they are, it's only as a vehicle to post it on the internet.

Mine come either while laying in bed or in a dream. Either way I rarely remember the truly golden ones.

Without a doubt, my best work is done as soon as I'm comfortable in bed and start dozing off. Then I'm suddenly wide awake with a brilliant idea, and I have to unwrap myself from my blanks to reach my phone and type enough that I'll be able to remember it. Either that, or in the bath where I don't have anywhere to record my ideas… Many of those brilliant moments are lost forever though…
