Consider practicing a discipline where you write down one new idea every day. Most of these ideas will suck, but tracking them over time might show you (1) some deeper ideas and (2) that even if 95% of your ideas suck, that 5% is still enough to work with. I'd worry about "devoting" hours/days to idea generation. You can make more progress by drafting, shipping, and refining an idea than by sitting alone generating a lot of ideas without implementation. Take your best idea and figure out the fastest way to make it into something people can use. Pay attention and you'll learn a ton.
