This Is Precisely When Your Best Medium Article Ideas Will Arrive

And why.

I often have my best ideas when I’m nowhere near a computer.

Or a phone. Or even an honest-to-goodness piece of paper.

Isn’t that always the way?

Not a Medium member? Read the full story here.

I’m in the shower, or the car, or up to my elbows in weeds in the back garden…

…when it strikes.

Inspiration.

It might be a fantastic, eye-catching headline for a Medium article.

Or a great business strategy idea.

Or an incredible premise for my next novel.

Either way, it arrives at precisely the wrong time.

(This one came to me when I was shovelling leaves into the wheelie bin, for instance).

Why?

Because I gave my mind space to breathe. I focused on the task at hand, not on my next piece of content.

And as a result, the ideas flowed like honey.

It’s why I don’t listen to music in the car anymore. Or when I’m shovelling leaves.

Your best Medium article ideas (heck, your best ideas in general) will arrive when you release your mind from the burden of creativity.

Free up your imagination to do its job.

Can you relate to this? When do your best ideas usually arrive?
