How can you capture shower thoughts?

Capturing shower thoughts can be quite a challenge, but experts have shared some effective strategies:

1. Waterproof Notepads: Both Jonny and Jordan Harbinger use waterproof notepads like Aqua Notes to jot down ideas immediately in the shower. This prevents thoughts from slipping away and can be quite effective in capturing insights when you can't use electronic devices 1 2.

2. Visual Reminders: Simon Sinek suggests using dry erase markers to write ideas on shower tiles. These visual cues can stimulate further ideas and keep the original thoughts alive until you can transcribe them properly 3.
