Many people say they get their best ideas while sitting on the toilet. The surrealist artist Salvador Dalí reportedly conceived ideas for his artworks and concepts while in the "little room," referring to his seat as his "thinker's throne." Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, also shared in an interview that he often used his bathroom breaks as moments of reflection and creativity. So, what’s behind this phenomenon? There are various scientific theories, though no certainties. Explanations range from the solitude and privacy of the space, to the act of unplugging from technology, the gift of unstructured time, and the freedom to let one’s mind wander. Perhaps it's the absence of pressure and the change of environment that creates the perfect conditions for creativity.
