Take a long weekend, go get drunk, walk along a beach, climb a hill.

Don't touch a laptop or a iphone till Monday.

On monday, walk into the room with all your team, and brainstorm. They will have ideas. You will have ideas. Some you might like. By Lunchtime Monday, choose one and run with it. Get the 'enter your email' site up by Monday 9pm, and post a link here.

Here is one for free. :

Dealer app.

You 'throw' yout iphone in a mechanics grip like you are really dealing cards. THe card flicks out of the iphone display and 'lands' on the display of the other iphone sitting on the table across from you. Repeat to the phone on his left etc. Sell the engine to poker sites.

That idea is feasible, but its probably not right for you. But the main thing is get your of your head, you are probably a little burnt out. Get any idea that excites you and release something - you need the endorphins.

Don't brainstorm. Have everyone take 30-60 minutes and quietly write down a list of ideas that they have. Then get together and go over those lists.

Brainstorming will only limit the ideas that you come up with.
