Getting Out Of A Creative Funk
 

What do you do when you are in a creative funk?
I've been trying all day to finish this new project and I'm just not happy with the results and am in a creative funk...it's driving me insane...my usual things didn't help....

take a break from it

Take a walk.

clear your head, drink a beer, and look at the problem from a different angle.

go play some xbox for an hour and shoot some stuff and get stoned. it's the perfect remedy for almost everything.

I've done the getaway, I watched some tv, took a walk around the block, took a scalding hot bath

I don't really drink much alcohol (except at webmaster shows ;-)) and I'm not a stoner, hehehe

I might just sleep on it and start over in the morning....

argh, I hate these little creative funks......

I try to look at work by people that I admire and keep in mind that the only way to be as good as they are is to keep at it and practice, plus looking at other work I enjoy tends to inspire me and put me back in the mood. It doesn't even have to be in the same genre as what I'm working on, it just has to impress me.

If you've been working on the same project for a while, though, it can do a world of good to walk away from it for a bit and come back to it later. Maybe you have a different type of project you can work on in the meantime that would give you a change of pace?

EDIT: Almost forgot, loads of caffeine tends to "inspire" me as well. =P

I've been doing the multitasking and such...I generally have a couple things happening at the same time...

maybe I'll hookup the PS2 and kill some people in Hitman 2...hhehehe
not sure if it'll make me more creative, but it'll feel better ;-)

or maybe I'll just go perv some cams on AWC...lol

Take a break! Go for a walk and grab a beer!

masturbate three times

yeah
think I'll go do some anonymous whacking on anywebcam.com
LOL

that's about the only thing I haven;t done...yet
;-)

go out to Red Rock and do some shrooms
:smokin

:thumbsup

You need to shake it loose!

Problem Solved!

bah
I'm just going to go to bed and sleep on it........

suuuuuuure:1orglaugh

When I am in a funk.. I dont try and force myself to be creative, I dont sit around thinking what the problem would be.. I go out and do something I really enjoy and not waste the time.

More to life then work.

Screw around on GFY for an hour or so. Laugh at some idiots, look at some hot chicks, and then go back to work. :thumbsup

Watch a few no brainer action movies they kill alll creativity :1orglaugh
