How do you come up with ideas, how do you prioritize what to do, how scrappy are you?<p>I ask because I want to tinker more

I generally like to just ask my friends what problems they have, then figure out how I can use my resources and skills to see how I can solve them, and grow useful knowledge while helping them

I pick a thing that annoys me and try to fix it. In the process, I&#x27;m following all the tangential issues that I discover without really caring about the original goal.

I found that when you seek good ideas, they never come, but they come when you&#x27;re idle, or doing a casual stroll, or in the shower, hence the phenomenon on Reddit r&#x2F;ShowerThoughts[0]<p>In other words, to hit the target, you have to miss it.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Showerthoughts&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;old.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;Showerthoughts&#x2F;</a>
