I feel like I've got the right toolkit for building something (knowledge + drive + time to spare), but I just can't come up with an idea.
How do you guys come up with ideas? Do you actively brainstorm?
Is it even possible to find B2B (SaaS) ideas without working professionally in some field?

There's some great advice from Michael Seibel on this.
My ideas usually comes from self or closest neighborhood.
Sometimes you missed out maybe because there’re so many shiny objectives. But when you pay attention to observe, listen and communicate with people are you. You will realize many problems can be converted into a viable idea and eventually a business.
I started VenturesList because I noticed early stage founders in my network has no access to investor network, procedure and knowledge before fundraising. And that’s what I’m good at.
So I began with this problem, now became a lil product.
In my experience, the more I expose myself to new things (new hobbies, new people, new places, new books, etc.), the easier it is for me to come up with ideas.
They always seem to be some combination of a new thing and what I already know.
For B2B ideas, have you tried speaking to lots of people outside your field of expertise?
You could look into RFS100 by @mario the generalist or softwareideas.io by @Kevcon80
