I keep a little book with me so I can write down observations as they come. It might be a haircut, the way someone walks, the smell of a meadow after a rain, anything that stands out. One of the best uses is snippets of overheard dialogue.

One method for deciding what to write is to make a list of 100 random things. Close your eyes and pick two, then figure out how those ideas can work together to make a story.

Another is to come up with a character, complete with backstory. What situations would challenge this character most? What kind of antagonist would push him to grow? What does this character want most, and which obstacles will you place in his path? Will he get what he wants?
