Places of Inspiration

Where and when do you get inspired with new ideas?

I read some dead American guy who said that nothing good ever came about without someone first sitting quietly in a room all by himself. Or words to that effect.

I find there are really only a couple of places when I'm inspired with new ideas, thoughts or phrases.

1) The morning shower. 
Sarah reckons I lose time in the shower. I do. It's because I'm thinking in a way which rarely happens during the busyness of the day. If I'm late to a morning meeting, this is usually why.

2) The afternoon run. 
The adrenalin and stress burnoff of the late arvo run often mean I get bursts of creative thinking. It's not uncommon to come home with an acronym in my head to try to remember some of the thoughts I want to jot down. I forget most of them. But some of the goodstuff gets through.

What about you?
