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?

Here are a few strategies I rely on: - Get inspired by something. If you are a writer, read a good book. If you are a designer, check out new work on Dribble, and so on. It helps set the bar for your projects and feeds you ideas. - Set a timer and just get to it. Sometimes constraints like a limited time window motivate us (that's why a lot of people can work deeply a few hours before a deadline). - Break the task down into smaller components - writing a full article or designing an e-book might be intimidating, but if you take it a block or a page at a time, it's way more doable.

Hi @aaronoleary I go for a walk or for a cup of strong coffee.
