Only kind of related, but Daniel Pink wrote in his new book When that creativity comes to most people in the afternoon because you’re a little mentally tired at that point. When you’re “mental guard” is lowered, there’s more room for new ideas. Just a note that for most people these ideas will probably come after lunch.
I also think that diary idea is super interesting! Definitely will try out that technique. I feel like I forget my ideas a lot of the time, but that if I had the opportunity to come back to it and build on it I might have something special.

Yes, try to carry a little pocket notebook with you all the time and scribble things on the go.
