I totally agree with you guys.
Starting with the brainstorming and mind-mapping is the way:

…and here comes sketching…
Whenever I need to figure something out, I usually go out with a notebook and a pen to see what happens… then you always end up with a lot of bad drawings, but they are so so useful, because unless you are a born genius, you need to make mistakes in order to learn from them. And then, when you don’t even expect it, you see it, you see your problem solved in your drawings that are nothing more than ideas thrown on a sheet of paper.
And still to be more productive, give your ideas time to grow. I mean give yourself at least one night to think it deep.
