Thinking and generating ideas for me is easier without a computer. Computers are distracting. The more I practice thinking and writing my ideas down, the better I become at having thoughts that are useful. It's pretty elementary stuff, but I think the conundrum is that it doesn't feel immediately productive. This kind of thinking marinates and adds value to your work over a long period of time, versus something like answering an email, which has immediate results but usually is of little value.
