Whenever an interesting idea pops into your mind, write it down immediately. Do not wait to write it down because it will very likely slip your mind.

Another tip is, do not look up your idea to see if it already exists - build it assuming it is completely novel. It is an exercise where you're almost pretending you're very creative and not influenced or helped by anyone else.
