Making a world from scratch is hard, and a long process. But, quality vs. quantity, so I find it is better to let the ideas come slowly, which can be annoying if you want to build a world overnight, but the ideas that come slowly are usually the better ones, so in my experience its best to stick with those. Second, remember, You Can Change Anything about your world. You don’t have to make your rough draft picture-perfect, its good to just get the ideas down and choose, edit ,and refine the best one later, when the rush of ideas is over, allowing for a clear head. If your having trouble getting good ideas, or have writers/artist’s block, it is helpful to listen to an audiobook or read a magazine, because just random words & phrases can trigger the most amazing ideas! That is all I have right now, but there will be more!!
Please respond because Im looking for more ideas for worldbuilding methods.

I have traversed all the outer planes- I have traversed all the inner planes- now I travel to the land of earth to ride an airplane.

If you need lore, spells, heaps of information, come my way!!
Read Sci-Fi/Fantasy books, watch movies, television shows, and Play video games. Go on Discord, Reddit, or any gaming forum and you can find other likeminded people who will be glad to talk sometimes at length about the subject
You do not have to develop a world by yourself; you have to sell your world to your players? Why not ask them for input. Trust me it will improve the experience for everyone.
When you hit a wall (and you will) Unplug and go do something else for a bit. The important thing is to know when to step away
That's all i got right now
