Higher math

1 unsolvable novel problem + 1 hour on the treadmill = 1 breakthrough

I need to remember the results of this equation.

    now all you need is a keyboard built into the treadmill. i’m surprised someone hasn’t thought of it yet… or a dvd player built in. I like a big screen.

    It’s showers for me. Whenever I’m really stuck at writing, I take a shower, and then the problem works itself out. Then I just need to remember things until I can get to the computer. Back when I had a gym, the exercise bike used to work pretty well too.

    Congrats on showing the problem that you’re the boss.

    Yup. I do some of my best coding/design work in the kitchen and bathroom. (=

    Yay! Thanks also for reminding me it’s time to head to the gym for me, too.

    I’m so amazed you can stay on that thing for an hour.

    Are you reading/listening to something?

    Sure beats 1 unsolvable drawing problem + 2 hours blogging instead = 3 years unfinished work.

    Congrats!

    Hmm, that actually seems like a fairly equitable trade-off…sweat off a pound or two and make a big leap forward on the novel. A complete no-loss proposition.

    Now, how many extra hours would it take on the treadmill for an entirely new book? ;^)

    Yahoo! Thank you for proving my girlfriend wrong!!
    She kept telling me that working out will give me muscles and not brains… and that I shouldnt spend so much time in the gym….
    I should show my girl this. She loves you, and now, she’ll let me go to the gym for an extended peroid of time. And maybe she’ll join me.
    Yay~
