I know there are some notepads that divers use but I was more hoping for something specifically for the shower that I could maybe stick to the wall like a waterproof whiteboard maybe? I’ve had no success searching online unfortunately.
Bath crayons
This is the correct answer!
Rite in rain + pencil
Wow those pads and pens look awesome! 🙂
Yeah, had one for over a year now and it’s still going strong. You can literally put it under the shower stream and it will be fine.
You could try remembering things. Might be good practice.
I mean, we’re not exactly talking about a dream upon waking here…and you can remember those too with practice.
Tell me you’re neurotypical without telling me you’re neurotypical.
Never have I related to shower thoughts. For one it’s too short to do any thinking in there. Also, I don’t really want to think in the shower. If I’m relaxing, it’s head empty in the stream of water.
Same goes for singing in the shower, it was always a TV thing.
My point is how many people actually do anything in the shower besides washing (mostly)?
Also there are those stone notepads. The paper ir smooth and water proof, can be written with a pencil or a pen (not a fountain one tho, but that’s not relevant in the shower either way). I tried it once as a daily notebook and I didn’t like it. With a mechanical pen after some writing it grips the core by the sharper angle and breaks it.
My showers range from 2 minutes and 45 minutes, some of them definitely have thinking time.
I also sing in the shower, but I have a Bluetooth speaker I take in with me so I’m just singing along.
Most phones are waterproof enough these days that you can just use them with wet hands in the shower, I keep mine on the sink next to the shower and occasional use the phones mid shower when needed. You could also use a voice to text notes app if you want to be as hands free as possible
Have you ever tried to operate a touch screen with wet fingers?
I just said I did in my previous comment. You just need to make your fingers slightly drier than dripping wet and it works fine
Fecal smearing, if you have tile, works pretty well.
Works anywhere but in the shower though.
We must have different diets.
Comments like this I wish I could upvote for the laugh and simultaneously downvote on principle lol. XD
A third option would be nice.
Get a smart speaker or use your phone to take voice notes
My younger brother has afriends that is a Brazilian math wizard. He does his best work in the shower. He writes his thoughts on the steam in the shower glass and has a water proof camera nearby to take pictures before they vanish.
I would recommend not doing that. The shower is for you the place to let your mind wander. If you want to capture that you will stress yourself and your last place where your mind was free will be gone.
Which is exactly why he wants to capture the thoughts.
Not everyone is like you, don’t assume they approach the shower the way you do.
I’ve solved long-standing technical work problems in the shower.
I don’t think they are saying that you can’t solve problems in the shower, but that this meditative thought process is limited in the first place by an intentional work mentality.
exactly what I wanted to express.
This is not true for everybody. Consider offering your view as an alternative perspective OP should consider, instead of presenting it as fact.
Where do I state it as a fact? No it is just a subjective recommendation.
Where do I state it as a fact?
Probably when you use “is” and “will”
Maybe also the generic you? Sometimes it feels a bit imperative like in this occasion.
Nothing special.
I have a decent quality paper notebook and a pencil attached to it sitting on a shelf nearby the shower (using a softer pencil than your usual HB/2B, say a 4B or 6B) and I can easily reach out for them whenever I need to jot something down. Not worrying at all about messing the paper with water as its sole purpose is to hold the notes for as long as it takes me to finish showering: it being decent/good quality paper, Clairefontaine in my case, it won’t instantly break apart when faced with water. I simply don’t write under the shower.
Set your phone just outside the shower with a voice recording app on and recording?
If you have a phone with voice recognition, I sure you can just have it auto dictate when you ask it to.
Then feed it through a transcriber.
Bonus points if you sing out the ideas, and even more if you can rhyme them.
A bold idea
Oh, how it lingers
Tiny cocks
For all of my fingers
Maybe you can voice record yourself showering and then start talking about it out loud
Inb4 I compose a 4 act opera about my week’s schedule during my first shower of the week. :D
I’d just shout out those random ideas and hopefully my partner is right outside the bathroom to hear them.
“I hope someone has started dating me and moved in since I got in the shower and that you’re writing down all of this gold! Anyway, like I was saying…”
Wow, I’ve never thought it could be interpreted that way!
Aqua Notes!
I got a friend these as a gift, he really liked it.
If you use an electric device like a tablet or smartphone, cover it with a ziplock bag to make waterproof and get ones of those dedicated pen for that electronic device and preferably a pen that doesn’t need batteries. It should be able to take notes this way. Or better yet, forget about the pen, since the device probably has a keyboard, just type it out instead of writing. I had luck watching videos in shower with the ziplock bag but I never tried writing notes in the shower.
