This is the Daily Note. I'm James A. Brown. I do my best thinking in parking lots.

Not at my desk, not in meetings, but in that quiet space in between leaving one thing and starting another. Car turned off, phone face down. Just me and whatever's rattling around my head.

The grocery store parking lot, the office garage, that random strip mall where I stopped for gas. Maybe it's being nowhere, belonging to nothing, just for a couple of minutes. The parking lot doesn't demand anything from you.

It just holds space while you sort through your noise. Some of my biggest decisions recently have happened in parking lots. Some of my clearest thoughts, too. So where do you do your best thinking?

Let me know on jamesabrown.net or on that note. I'm James A. Brown, and as always, be well.
