As a cretive sometimes you must face the fact of having to deal with a mental block and run out of ideas.
I've found out one of the best ways to be prepared is having an arsenal of ideas that you have previously jotted down when you come across them.
Do you know other ways to overcome a mental block?

A really good sleep at night. And then,wake up feeling alert. Ground,brewed coffee.

The arsenal of jotted down ideas is the best way but it, too, sometimes fails. One way that works for me sometimes is to do something else. Anything else and sometimes the ideas start flowing again.

It happens to me a lot of times too. But my technique is much more straightforward. I stopped and do something else to defocus myself then after some time ideas do come back again. It’s my way of declogging my mind. But this technique won’t work if you have a deadline though.

That's interesting! In fact, I've found out that you feel more creative when writing directly on paper that on a computer screen :)

I jot down notes, get an 8-hour sleep, and rest throughout the day to avoid this from happening.

Usually I will do some other stuff but it is rare that I have a mental block. Most of the time I will be overflow with ideas to the point that I am forced to eliminate them or bring them over somewhere.
