Hi research folks :) I am wondering when you tend to get ideas for projects. Do you tend to get ideas while going for walks? While reading papers? While talking to peers? While playing with your dog? While trying to think of new ideas? Trends/anecdotes welcome, feel free to RT.
My own observations: talking to interesting people helps (not necessarily CS folks! - just folks with interesting perspectives) (1/2)
But, my ideas arrive highly unpredictably, not when I'm trying to have ideas or even really "working". Eg, I did a lot of the initial math for this paper - https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.08536  - while drinking a margarita, which is not my normal work approach (nor one I'd recommend).
