I love room research for taking notes. I keep it open on my browser throughout the day and I just jot down whatever is coming up. My favorite habit is putting myself in airplane mode. Just sitting with just a notepad and a pen and nothing else or going out for a walk, no podcast, no audio book,. Nothing, just me and my thoughts. Those moments in the day where it seems like nothing is happening, end up being the most productive moments because that's when my best ideas come. Creativity isn't produced. It's discovered.
