Taking the Tube

I don't know if it's just me, but one of my most creative times is while commuting by train/tube.

The only things you need are a seat and a piece of paper (or blank new document on your device), and you can go into your own zone and start creating.

I'm not sure if it's the repetetive sound of the train, the chatter of the passengers or the view outside the window, but while taking the tube I've written some of my best pieces and solved some of the stickiest problems.

Next time you are commuting by train, try it out yourself. Ideally don't use anything that can distract you (music, radio, social media), focus and create new things.
