Where do you get inspiration for your experiments and side-projects or even side hustles?
From my every day life. If I see a problem, or an interesting bit of tech, or if I see something someone else has made that I'd like to recreate, or someone mentions something they'd like a tool that does X then I write it down. Often it'll tick over in the back of my head for a while and I'll keep coming back to it. If it remains interesting I'll have a go at building something.
For a very long time I didn't write the ideas down and then I forgot them. I think this is common. Everyone has a ton of creative ideas all the time, but they don't make enough impact to be memorable. That means people think they struggle to come up with ideas. Really they don't, they just have ideas that they quickly forget. Making notes is key.
