where do u get good ideas from?

this is a question i keep asking myself, its a thought that crosses every designer when we see some good design. but what is it that really makes a good design click. is it its thought or idea, is it the execution the way its presented or is it something else........ or is it everything. i always believe that designers have a task of balancing a lot in life as a professional - be it good design or the right message or even doing justice to the right brief.

ideas for me as a designer have always come in an unconventional way, i mean brainstorming, research are all part of it but while you are sipping coffee with friends it clicks....may be having a shower it clicks or even while sleeping it clicks...and what i do is grab the scrap book or my sketching notes diary and pencil and just scribble it.

why does it come so perfectly at a imperfect time. its like when you are on a vacation its there. is it because we have the hwole day to balance out our schedule? or whats left??? who needs to get reminded????? who should i contact for this? etc etc. i wonder if i have some company in these thughts.
