I have been doing this since ages now. Fortunately, I've been blessed with such friends whom I can relax and chill with on a weekend over coffee and snacks, having lighthearted banter while gently bouncing ideas off each other. That's literally how I've come up with the titles of so many of my articles here on Medium. I don't know how the brain works or the intricacies of this method. All I know is that when I meet these friends of mine who I can conversations for hours together without being aware of the passing of time, I get home with at least a dozen article ideas, if not more.

Unfortunately due to covid I am no longer able to effectively use this method as most of my close pals went back to their hometowns and are yet to return. Otherwise this really works. Even all the big challenges and daunting tasks with life suddenly seem manageable in their presence just like you said.
