Given the size and cost of the average motor-car, it is surprising how often people (by which I mean me!) forget where they parked it. Knowing where you left the car is on the list of things you should know for a productive and hassle-free life.
Given the importance and value of ideas, it is surprising how often people do not know when their most idea-productive times are.
If you don't know when this is - other than a generic 'in the shower' - I suggest you keep a diary for a week, listing the times and activities when ideas floated into your head. Once you know the times and activities that produce a flow of ideas, you are in a position to increase the number or duration of these opportunities.
Leaving the flow of ideas to serendipity would be a pity when the small effort of finding out can yield big results.
