Our modesty seems to have taken away our best self. We should all be naked and chewing on a toothbrush when we are to be at our most inspirational.
Adding work into the shower would diminish it’s idea generating powers.
The reason we are able to come up with good ideas in the shower is that our mind isn’t otherwise occupied by doing anything else. We aren’t on our phones, watching TV, having a conversation, or working. Our mind has no obligations and the act of cleaning yourself doesn’t require much mental load. So our mind is free to drift and think freely about whatever it wants. We don’t have many similar times of distraction-free brain freedom in our modern lives.
Add in a task like taking a meeting, and now you’ve removed that key no thoughts head empty feature of showers that leads to the brain blast.
We have plenty of distraction free brain freedom. It’s the formality of the meeting. If I’m fighting to see Karen through the steam and pausing to spit toothpaste I’m less concerned about the passive aggressive way she’s telling me I didn’t submit my code on time.
The shower is my happy place. Why would you possibly want to add stress to it? :D
End of discussion. The last thing I want to think about in the shower is meetings with my clients.
Only if my work pays for the electricity and water bills, because keeping a warm shower running for an hour will skyrocket those costs
Of course. Plus shampoo, toothpaste, razors and body wash would be claimable on tax. Haven’t figured out how to improve the shower coffee situation though.
You know, if all meetings were only held by people on the toilet, we could avoid all of those unfortunate embarrassing incidents when that one person forgets to mute.
Audio issues come to mind
Half of what I say in a zoom call isn’t worth listening to anyway.
I like you.
Hey thanks, Steam is already an app, should we call it Ploom?
