As a graduate of an advanced degree program (PhD equivalent), full time member of the "white collar" work force more than 5 years, and adding recently married to the mix, I feel so embedded in the time clock/rat race lifestyle. I had just covered a later shift and had the pleasure of leaving work well after sunset on a warm night that I was able to enjoy the ride with the windows down. With not many people on the road on my ride home, and nothing good on the ipod/radio, I just felt "the switch" turn on as I was able to really zone out and have good thought. Back in high school, early college days I remember always have good late night conversations around a fire or walking around the neighborhood with close friends. With the 9-5 commitments, gym, etc, there's minimal time for deep thoughts/reminiscing/zoning out/creative thoughts. How do you guys make solo opportunities to really think deep thoughts and make sure to fit it in your days?
