Great ideas.

Why do great ideas not appear in my mind daily?

I wrote this text on the 28th of December, 2025. It was a day when I did almost 11k steps while rucking for the third day in a row with a 37.5 kg (83 lbs) on my back and shoulders (during each walk, I did not have a single break). Also, I took 150 photos. While walking in a cold (it was 2 degrees Celsius [35.6 degrees Fahrenheit]), in summer clothes (including the www.adammazek.com t-shirt), I was wondering when another groundbreaking idea would appear in my mind.

What are my best ideas from the past? I would mention some of them:

  • Preparing sets of pictures together with text: the first one was my work entitled “Farewell” about my beloved Brother who died young.
  • I started writing texts four months before I launched my blog (the first text I wrote in May 2017, and I launched the www.adammazek.com blog on the 1st of September, 2017). Why did I do this? It was because, before I launched my website, I read that most blogs disappear a few months after launching. To avoid it, I decided to prepare texts which will be published in the future (between the 27th of May, 2017, and the 1st of September, 2017, I wrote 23 texts).
  • Another great idea (unfortunately, as of today, it was too time-consuming) was starting to prepare Diaries. I was preparing Diaries in two language versions: English and Polish. Diaries were published in the form of an e-book (including the PDF file), where I rewrote and translated all the posts I published in the past. As of now, I have covered the period from 09.2017 to 02.2020. Undoubtedly, I will return to publishing “Diaries” in the future. The last time I published Diaries was in February 2024.
  • I consider it a great idea to wear the www.adammazek.com t-shirts while walking and doing street photography. I started doing it in the summer of 2021. A few months later, I decided to wear it even while doing street photography in freezing temperatures. I became a walking advertisement for myself.
  • Regarding walking in summer clothes in frigid temperatures, I would say that exposing my body to cold was also a great idea. I also do it by taking cold showers. Undoubtedly, it was a wise decision on the same level as starting to do intermittent fasting (I’ve been doing it since Christmas 2020) and rucking (I’ve been doing it since the middle of August 2024).
I believe I had more great ideas in my life in the past, and that there are several more to come. The world would be too perfect if great ideas appeared in our minds daily.
