Talk to your friends working at small non-technology businesses. You will be amazed at some of the workflow problems they experience and that you could write software to fix. For example, using emailed spreadsheets to track specific data, or manual tracking of time off, outdated scheduling systems, etc. There are a lot of niches out there to help smaller businesses in various industries do their work easier. Ask around and see how they do things. I get a lot of interesting ideas I only wish I had time to follow up on this way.
