I keep an ideas.txt on my computer (synced to my phone in Dropbox). When you're out and something strikes you (something frustrating? interesting? could be made better?) just jot it down. Capture it in the moment, don't wait until the end of the day (you'll forget).
Over time you'll see recurring themes (you get annoyed by the same issues, the same idea gets written down over several weeks) and it'll be somewhat self-motivating to pursue a solution. Your energy ebbs and flows but if an issue bothers you several times it's likely something you care about.
- Nicholas_C 11y agoI do the same thing but with a google doc. I mull over these ideas and decide which ones to pursue. I've accumulated quite a few. I even built a scoring system to decide which ideas to pursue that I was using for a while. I think the best way to generate ideas is to think about things you're interested in and questions you may have regarding these topics. Write them down immediately in order to preserve and develop them.
