Consider what you consume
Idea generation is fueled by consumption, not creativity.
Creativity is just connecting things. The more things we have to connect, the better our ideas will become.
Consider the quantity and quality of things you consume, like books, movies, TV shows, articles and people you interact with.

Brainstorming

On your own, you don't have to worry about other people's egos or opinions, and you can be freer and more creative.
