My experience
From my own experience as a software developer, some of my most brilliant ideas emerge when I engage in a simple yet effective practice: lying down, doing nothing, and allowing my mind to wander freely for an hour or so.
I’ll sit or lie down for an uninterrupted hour, completely disconnected from the digital world. Sometimes, I simply stare at the sky, observing the clouds.
Problem with modern society
Most people haven’t sat down quietly for even 30 minutes in years. We’re constantly consuming content, noise, and other people’s opinions, never allowing our own minds to respond.
Initially, it feels strange and even uncomfortable. However, as the mental clutter subsides, ideas begin to emerge real idea's.
Many of my most insightful thoughts about software, products, business, and even life have come from these quiet moments. It may seem boring on the surface, but my experience has shown that it works.
So, if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or creatively blocked, try this: sit down, turn off everything, and let your mind breathe for a while. And in today’s fast-paced world, we all need it.
