I did this inadvertently in London back in June. I had an hour to kill and decided to walk to my destination. I didn't have to change streets, so my mind wasn't focused on following directions. I had people and shops I'd never seen keeping me entertained. About 15 minutes in, I had an idea for a book that still excites me. Didn't know what to call it but it was definitely an idea walk!
Love it.
How do you prepare so that the walk helps with a particular problem?
As opposed to coming up with ideas to random problems on my mind.

@Katie - love this! Yep, the big ideas come when we're not sitting there banging our heads against the desk telling them to show up...
