I think that there's something to it. I think that when you're physically occupied with a task like that, th- you feel like, "Okay, I'm doing something. I'm being productive." And then you can sort of relax a little bit and sort of release your brain from this, like, stranglehold. And then your brain your, your sort of mind is free to just sort of spin out. And the, um And good comes from that, you know? That's where, that's where ideas come from.
