I agree. Can't remember the source but the best advice I read once was actually to not have your hands on your keyboard when you first think about a problem. First action is sit and think about it. If that's in a park, on your bed, or staring like a zombie is AL up to you. As long as you don't do anything else.

This would require a (semi-)quiet space. After you can find the people you need to discuss the things you came up with
