I personally have had of my most creative ideas while being "idle" : in the shower, in the bathroom (yep), driving on a highway, in the train with no smartphone...
Actually I no longer use a smartphone (I've commented on it on HN recently), and this has benefited me in many ways, among which higher creativity.
Edit : I do read a lot, technical and non technical, which makes an input.
