A fun brainstorm method I do is the ABC game. I ask a question, then force myself to come up with an answer for each of letter of the alphabet within an hour. Absolutely no other tasks/distractions for that hour.

I think a lot about spreadsheets. If a person made a spreadsheet to get something done, it might mean there’s no solution/accessible options available.

Finally, I think about stuff that sucks. A lot of things seem like they could be fixed by some automation, and it seems to be the low hanging fruit of business ideas. Invention, manufacturing, etc. I think benefit from an entire explicit process for idea generation.
