This definitely did a good job in getting me into the flow, the 5 second timeout forced me into writing something down as soon as I had something in mind, no matter what that turned out to be. In one way, that made me rehash several ideas I had just written, in another way, it forced me to leap into a few weird ideas that I've never thought of before, and that happened because I was trying not to do the mistake of rehashing. Interesting how being put on the spot might even pressure you into getting creative!
