You are not alone in having a good idea or insight during a shower. There are some interesting psychological lit and plenty of popular musings about it.
Legend has it that Archimedes had his famous "Eureka!" moment while taking a bath. According to the story, he realized the principle of buoyancy when he observed the water level rising as he got into the bathtub, making him to shout "Eureka!" (Greek for "I have found it!").
For me, driving produces my best ideas. It's a time when I can't be interrupted by others, and the adrenaline of being surrounded by tons of moving death machines keeps me mentally vigilant.
Other than on the road, some of my best thinking occurs as work starts dwindling down. Getting closer to the end of the workday puts my mind into overdrive.
Well done you. Usually at the end of the workday, I would be as deflated as a balloon and just can’t wait to get out of the workplace. On better days, I have the mood to declutter, but that doesn’t come often haha
