    I have an overactive imagination, so I can easily brainstorm ideas, analyze them, and sort out pros and cons alone.  I find the most creative ideas I have though usually come at the oddest of times or while I'm just doing routine things, such as taking a shower or brushing my teeth.

    My experience is very much like Chris's. I certainly apply many of the techniques described above, but creativity tends to come when I am engaged in some other activity. Over the years my best ideas have come when I am walking. Fortunately my employer recognizes this and is fine with my long walks at lunch time.
