Showers help you come up with ideas? Guess I'll start taking showers from now on, seemed pointless before.

The miniatures shop called and told us to let you know.

As if I ever leave my house.

I'm not a programmer but a sysadmin, and being able to work from home has multiple benefits. When I get stuck on something, I like to jump in a shower just to decompress and honestly it sometimes help to gain a different perspective.

Otherwise I like to just get up for a couple of minutes to make a coffee, or take the dog for a walk for maybe 10 minutes around the block and breathe some fresh air.

i do the same. If I get stuck on something best thing to do is get away. Shower, walk, food shopping, etc... just get away from the problem and destress so you can tackle it with a fresh perspective

on the one hand, yes, I write software and take showers when I'm stumped because it's a great way to think through it.

on the other hand the world didn't need an article about it.

Who knew resting and taking care of your basic needs can be beneficially productive.

I feel personally attacked. Just for that I'm not showering for 3 more weeks.
