I have been actively pursuing skepticism for much of my adult life. By this I DO NOT mean what the term has come to mean, but closer to the original Greco-Roman philosophy. I like to play different worldviews off of each other. Take a certain issue, say a failing school, and then think of how different ideologies would approach it. What would a libertarian do? What would a Keynsean liberal do? What would a conservative Muslim do? What would an eco-hippie do? And so on. Having original ideas, though, that's harder. Most of my original ideas just come to me. I'm sure there's some tips for creativity out there.
