Yoshiro Nakamatsu is the sort of guy who\u2019s just full of ideas.<\/p>\n
As I write this, he has over 3,300 patents for all sorts of products. He\u2019s also the guy many people credit with coming up with the floppy disk.<\/p>\n
(Some of our younger readers may not even know what a floppy disk is!\u2026)<\/p>\n
Anyway, a guy as creative as Nakamatsu needs a way to get his mind into the zone so that he can come up with ideas. And he has the perfect solution:<\/p>\n
His \u201ccalm room\u201d.<\/p>\n
To be precise, Nakamatsu\u2019s \u201ccalm room\u201d is his bathroom\u2026<\/p>\n
Only, his bathroom is unlike any that you\u2019ve ever been in before!<\/p>\n
For one, it\u2019s covered from top to bottom in 24-karat gold plating. Nakamatsu built himself a gold room to calm his mind in!<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, the room doesn\u2019t contain any nails.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
According to Nakamatsu,\u00a0\u201cNails reflect thinking\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Now, I don\u2019t know how true that is. I can\u2019t say that seeing a nail has ever made it harder for me to think. But if it works for a guy who has 3,300 patents, then who am I to argue?<\/strong><\/p>\n But honestly, \u201cget rid of nails\u201d is not what I want you to take away from this email.<\/p>\n Instead, it\u2019s the concept of a \u201ccalm room\u201d.<\/p>\n While Nakamatsu\u2019s room may seem extravagant and a little pointless, the idea behind it is sound:<\/p>\n Find a peaceful place to enable your brain to do its best thinking!<\/p>\n When you\u2019re surrounded by hustle and bustle, it\u2019s hard for your brain to be creative. You\u2019re surrounded by a bunch of things your brain is trying to focus on, which means it can\u2019t explore new ideas or trains of thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n A \u201ccalm room\u201d slows you down\u2026<\/p>\n It gives you a quiet space in which you can reflect and let your mind wander\u2026<\/p>\n And the good news is that you don\u2019t need to spend a fortune on gold to create your \u201ccalm room\u201d. Just find somewhere quiet and comfortable and you have the perfect conditions for creativity.<\/p>\n Hopefully, your \u201ccalm room\u201d will help you to come up with some great ideas for your eCommerce business – and life in general!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yoshiro Nakamatsu is the sort of guy who\u2019s just full of ideas.
