Like all creatives do, sometimes I feel like I’ll never have another good idea again, ever, nuh-uh, no way. This Lifehacker article has a few useful, practical tips for getting your mojo back. The one I’ve naturally gravitated to when I’ve been stuck:

“Try taking an existing or a half baked project and rethink it in someone else’s shoes. If it’s a design project— how would it look like if it was designed by Google or maybe even by Starbucks? If it’s something you write—how would a certain writer or maybe a colleague sitting across the room would write it? You’ll soon find out that while your designs or text will be very far removed from your chosen style, bringing in a style constraint into the equation will spark your creative magic.”
