Keep a running log of anything that seems missing or any problem you encounter. Extend it to people you are close to, family, friends, colleagues, people you admire. Keep this somewhere you can access easily and from everywhere, like Evernote. What problems do people have? What could be easier? What could make something better? You'll orient your mind towards problems and solutions, and before long, you'll have a long list of side projects from which to choose!
