I think that genius takes extraordinary intellect but also a penchant for timing. Solve interesting problems, but also at the right time.
A way to overcome this is the Erdos approach: have a backlog of problems in your mind and allowed them to be solved naturally as you learn and new discoveries are made. Maybe that is why he was such a prolific mathematician.
