Why do my best ideas show up in the shower and never at my desk?

Classic incubation effect: your desk narrows attention, but showering floods you with dopamine and alpha waves, loosening associative memory. Model it as P(idea)=1-e^(-λt) where λ jumps ~2-3x in relaxed states. So yeah, step away; the math says your shower beats your chair.
