Old - before I retired, I'd pack a book in my work truck. I had a thirty minute lunch, and I chose books that consisted of each chapter having a short story, not related to the previous or following chapter. In thirty minutes, I could read the whole chapter/story start to finish. The James Herriot books are a good example.
Like others said - keep a little tablet in your shirt pocket and jot down a short reminder of the many incidents in your life. You'll think of stuff every day. I have around thirty short stories written (for family interest only), but about 100 waiting to be written.
And the details - don't skip the details. They add to the story. I remember reading about two guys who were riding on a truck tailgate on a real bumpy dirt road. One guy was bouncing all over the tailgate and couldn't figger how his buddy could sit so still, until he realized his buddy was sitting on a rivet. I read that thirty years ago, and I still laugh when I think of it.
I think you might enjoy writing down your stories.
