How do you overcome creative block?

byβ€’
Creative block affects everyone at some point, I get it quite often when working on a new idea, normally I use exercise, relaxing, reading and journalling to get to a better state. How about you?

The best content I write is not a product of inspiration, neither of a tragedy, taking a break, or hours of market research. My best content is a product of Reading my Brand Story for 30 min a day. That means reading my: 1. Ideal Customer Profile 2. Narrative and Message 3. Positioning Strategy 4. Competitor Strategy and Differentiation Read it every day first thing in the morning. That's how it will work.

I usually go to YouTube and watch some relaxing videos.

Stepping away from the task for some time may be helpful if you've discovered that you've been thinking about it for hours. Balance is the key!

I cannot always be creative, that's not nature. So just live with it. by the way, check out my new product: https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

I try to distract myself with other activities or some relaxation ! Writing things down even help sometimes :D

I think that the best way – take a brake. Our brain work in background mode all time. When you take time to relax – new idea will come =)

exercise as you said, and also getting any and every idea on paper in front of me and then I can see it, visualize and take action.

For me, creative block is not a bad state at all, quite the contrary. If you're not ACTIVELY working on something, it doesn't mean your brain isn't! Whenever I feel like sitting in front of the screen is fruitless right now, I easily let myself play a game, take a walk, do chores (or whatever else). And while I'm doing it, my brain is passively working on my problem, and I inevitably get an inspiration strike. Then I can sit down and write a great article for 3000 words in three hours with smoke coming from under my fingers:)

Morning walkings in nature make me always inspired. Sometimes best ideas come to me while I'm swimming. If I need focusing beyond the thoughts I'd rather small breaks or short sleeps.

Change your place, move around. If you usually work from your room, shift to the lobby, sit in the balcony or the living room instead. Make a working trip to another city. Sometimes that can open new thought channels.
