The Zen Method of Thinking of Something
Created | Updated May 21, 2002
The Zen method of thinking of something is rather simple: all one must do is find a small collection of metal objects such as coins, nails, keys, et cetera. Place them in your hand, prop your hand up, and try to sleep. While trying to sleep, think very hard about the problem you are having or the thing you are trying to think of. When you fall asleep, the objects will fall out of your hand, waking you instantly. When you awake, due to the noise, the solution will present itself.
