It Came To Me In The Shower

As If By Chance
I found Aquanotes from someone on Facebook after we had started this site and have to share their story..
AquaNotes® and Aqua LoveNotes® are products of Calmar Consulting Corporation.
The idea for waterproof notepads came from a Shower Thinker who always generated his best ideas and insights in the tranquility and solitude of a nice warm shower.
He began keeping a standard notepad and pencil outside his shower door to capture those ideas. Invariably, they ended up soggy, torn, and oftentimes illegible before he could get them back to his office. He experimented with a variety of waterproof writing apparatuses before his idea evolved into AquaNotes®….a waterproof note pad with paper that could easily be removed from the pad and taken with him to the office or on an errand.
The development of AquaNotes® made this Shower Thinker’s life more complete. But, in truth, he had only begun to understand the concept of “complete”. After reuniting with a long-lost love, he married and a new necessity arose…the need to have a special water-proof notepad on which to leave love notes in the shower for his new, wonderful bride. That’s when Aqua LoveNotes®was created.
Power Words from the Shower

Kevin Hall author of the new book Aspire commented on ideas he gets in the shower. Kevin in a Facebook post said “Some of my best thoughts and insights for Aspire came while I was showering. I wish I had a water proof journal so I could write while showering. On numerous occasions I found myself running out of the shower with a towel and wet hand to record the inspiration before it went a way. I have a writer friend that keeps a white board in the shower to write on as ideas and thoughts surface.
“Once you pick this book up you will find it hard to put down. The layers of examples and principles inside a single word can prove life changing. This is a treasure that I will refer to over and over again. (Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust )
The Shower Brings Out The Lyrics
We are in search of stories of ideas people have in the shower that turn into a success. I was able to find this one this morning.
According to BBC News, pop singer Eliza Doolittle scored her first ever top 20 single on Sunday with Pack Up, a lilting summer groove based around the music-hall tune Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag.
When asked hw she writes a hit sogn Eliza replied: “Like, I’ll be in the shower and I’ll start singing and the melody and the lyric will just come out. Then I’ll quickly try to finish the shower, try to remember it, record it on my phone and save it for the studio,”
If you know of anyone that had a success from an idea in the shower please contact us.
