One of the toughest and most productive work is to come up with solid ideas. Many people experienced serious blackouts and stress while coming up with such ideas. I decided to look into certain ways & situation that would encourage us to pour more productive thoughts. This are ways of how I successfully came up with ideas. Some may sound strange but it sure did work for me. 

Shower - This is most productive place I would say. Often I do come up with thought when I’m engaged in a hot shower. Your mind is relaxed at that time, therefore I presume when we are relaxed, we tend to be more productive as well. 

Text Edit/Notepad - Common and simplest application available on Mac’s and PC’s. This has helped a bunch. Setting up a Future Post Ideas folder for me, encourages me to jot down ideas in text edit softwares and saving it for later reference. However, this not only applies for post but also for others. Do keep specific folders. For example : New Venture Ideas.

Plain Paper - Many have claim this as to be the best. To me often it does not seem to work out very well. I do tend to misplace pieces of papers and leading to a lost of a valuable idea perhaps. I would recommend something digitalized at any point of time. 

Electronic Devices - Notes and to-do’s in phones have helped me a lot. When ever I stumble upon an idea, I would immediately jot down on my phones for later transfers to my idea folders. This happens often as I do not carry around my notebook everywhere. Inspirations may flow from any place. For example in the flower market. The only gadget that is with me is a phone. So do utilize it to the maximum. 

Electronic Medium - Emails. I constantly email my self when I have an idea. On the mac, the mail software is very useful as it allow you to mail your selfs notes. It works well at class too. Alternatively, you could email your self using to-do’s found on most web mail applications such as Gmail. There is even tons of social media application on the internet for this but nothing beats the mails and other techniques listed above.
