How a fellow shower thinker got my attention on Twitter

We had a great call on Tuesday, called How to Find, Feed and Fill Your Ideas Catchers So You Never Have Article Writer's Block Again!

Thanks again to my co-host, Laurie Foley of Intuitioneering, and please stay tuned to the Idea Generator update emails on Tuesdays to hear about future calls and other resources.

One of the topics we covered was how to keep your idea catchers perpetually full, when I shared what I've noticed about the creative power of water. Next thing you know, I got a tweet from Alex Carter, the Non-Profit Coach (Alex was featured in October's IAC VOICE), about a friend who keeps an erasable marker handy to capture shower ideas - ingenious!

It was great to hear from Alex and to continue to conversation we started on the call, but what was ever cooler was the tweet that came next.

You see the good folks at the Calmar Consulting Corporation, a husband and wife team of self-confessed shower thinkers, must have a Twitter search set up to find just such topics, and they were quick to "re-tweet" the message (forward it to their own followers).

And because I'm alerted when my name is mentioned, all of a sudden they were on my radar so I could discover them and write about them here. Pretty savvy use of Twitter, don't you think? If you have a look at their Twitter stream you can see examples of other little gems they've picked up on Twitter that are a perfect match for their product.

And what is their product?

Why, AquaNotes, of course - a waterproof pencil and paper set for the shower!! I just placed my order, and I'll definitely let you know what I think of them!

Great link Alex, thanks!

Thanks for the link love, Linda! I also use Write in the Rain products - no suction cup mount, but you can stuff them in your knapsack when you go on a hike! (http://www.riteintherain.com/)

What an excellent point, Joan, thank you for sharing that! You've inspired me to think and write more about the topic of environmental responsibility (new blog post coming soon!).

You know, whilst the idea of Aqua notes sounds fun and practical I can't help thinking about how much water is being wasted while the shower is still running as you are writing the notes.

Where I live in Australia (and in many parts of the Globe)the Earth is choking to death and as far as water goes, every drop counts, so please use your water wisely.

Thanks for your comments, Becky - let me know how you like the Aqua Notes! I'll be getting mine in the mail any day now so you will definitely be hearing more from me about this.

These are great! I have so many great ideas that come to me in the shower, but I usually forget them before I can get to paper to write them down. I love the fact that they're green as well. TYTYTY
