I also mostly work at home I think I might start walking around the ‘hood before starting.

I had just under a mile walk to the bus stop in school-my grades didn’t reflect any advantage, but I can day dream with the best of them.

I definitely find that when I walk, my mind is free to wander as well. Biking happens at too quick a clip, and walking with a dog (as I usually am these days) often comes with too many distractions for a continuous flow of thoughts. But I love a good thinking walk when I can get one! I lived for a while in northern Virginia and fondly remember lunch-break walks in the wooded park behind the office and the days when I walked instead of biked to work. Such a perfect way to get inspired and balanced before sitting down at the computer. Come to think of it, I walked to school from kindergarten through high school, too, and I’m sure I was a better student for it. Here in TC, I work at home and my walk to the “office” is across the hall. Although I get outside for dog walks morning and evening, I do miss that solitary thinking-walking time.
