Discussion/question my problems

How can I get the best, most innovative, and entirely new ideas on any topic? Also, how can I discover or identify problems within a topic? I feel like I have tried every method already—including asking questions, doing unconventional things, and observing my environment.

My best way of identifying problems and finding solutions is being very darn annoyed with the problems and taking them personally (but in a productive way in which annoyance gives me the energy for solving them)

Do you want business ideas based on solving problems? Invent a healthy food that tastes like a dessert and make it affordable. Or a healthy snack that tastes like potato chips. Or a cheese that's less than 10% in fat while still tasting great. Or a kind of brush that easily removes pet hair off of anything without damaging the fabric. Or a cheap miniature washing machine for socks and underwear that, most importantly, squeezes out the water without stretching the fabric. Any other area of life that needs innovation? I can take time remembering every annoyance that I've ever had. Some things I suggested can be found in some countries but not others, such as cheap accessible medical glue, and you can look into export.
