Hey gang!

Does anyone have any great methods to brainstorm an idea or improve an idea that might be flawed? 

I have trouble coming up with ideas that I'm happy with, or that I don't pull apart after a day or two of development. Obviously, I can test the idea but that requires me to dev it and I'm only a novice programmer so that takes considerable time.

If anyone has honed their technique for brainstorming I'd love to hear it (I'm sure it would be beneficial to others, too).
