One method is:

Start with the world. What world/setting is in your mind? Next ask, "In this world, what does the villain want? Why is he doing what he's doing?"

You can follow this up by asking "What obstacles would the villain place on the hero, to prevent the hero from stopping him?"

That might give you a vision for a plot.

Hope this helps. I developed this way of thinking from Dan Brown's masterclass.
