How do you keep creative juices flowing when working at home?

We know that productivity is a daily challenge for remote workers. I am guilty. So I am curious how you guys keep productivity at peak (or at a functioning level, at least) while working remotely?
A good night's sleep and a cup of coffee/matcha are great boosts for me. How about you?
Sprints! Big fan of this. It helps to get proper breaks and at the same time keeps me focussed and creative :)

To keep creative juices flowing at home, vary your workspaces, take regular breaks for walks or hobbies, listen to inspiring music, and engage in online creative communities.
Understanding your most productive hours (for me it's 10am to 5pm with energy going down fast after 6pm) and having breaks before your brain starts slowing down :) that's what works for me. And of course being excited or at least interested in your work, because when one feels their work is dumb and meaningless, their productivity naturally falls down. But I hope it's not the case :)
Sometimes ideas and features or improvements just randomly hit me- I wish I could lock in on what caused it so I have hack into that.

Actually, it's really hard to be creative when you are alone at home because lots of ideas come to mind when you are in face-to-face interaction with people. but combining focused time and taking breaks will help you a lot. If you want a massive torrent of ideas in your mind I suggest you to do something related to your body during your break times; something like Yoga, meditation, or even any kind of body training, for example jumping rope, running, and etc.

I always keep an inspiration of my project near me.
For me, it's art. Whether it's painting, sketching, or even playing around with p5.js, activating a different kind of creativity than what I usually do really helps.

For me it's about taking regular 5-10 minutes break every 30-45 minutes of concentrated working. Maybe watch a youtube video, listen to few songs while grabbing a drinks. Definitely help me reseting my focus on my work.
