Start Over


If you threw out everything you've worked on so far, what would you do next? If you got rid of all of your ideas and inspiration and research and had to start from scratch, what would it look like?
First and foremost, I will be very pissed off if this was to ever happen. But you have to maintain your composure.
1. Search, and see if you had kept notes: If you had to start from scratch, make sure that kept notes prior to losing everything. Cause you may not have to start from complete scratch. You could start from where you were, or not as far.
2. Remember what you had done, and go from there: If you remember what you have done prior, would shed some light from what you were doing. Also, like the first point if you can remember you may not have to start competely from scratch.
3. Take a little break: Take a little break, a breather from everything. Reconsolidate everything that you had done, KEEP NOTES this time around so won't have to do the same thing again.
4. Make a gameplan or plan of attack: Now since you might, might not have taken a little break, and gotten yourself together. Reanalyze, and plan what your going to do to start over, and execute your plan. You never know it may be what you might need to break where you were stuck at. Or maybe not, see what happens. Hopefully you may not need to go through this.

Re evaluate


Ask yourself: "Should I really be focusing on this?" Doing so allows you to adjust your focus and see outside of the overall goal or objective of what you're doing, which can sometimes be foggy.
Re evaluate everything that you do. In regards to any project, or any problem that you come across. Look at what your focus is and try to stay true to throughout the project, or problem that you are trying to solve. Anytime that you feel that you are straying away from it, or take a break from it for a while. Always take notes during the process before you had to stop for anything. And this will be very important to you when it comes to looking back at the progress that was, or even being made for the project, or problem that you are trying to solve. So now since you have taken notes and everything, then look back and then re-evaluate everything and see if what you are doing is in the right track, or even on the wrong track. At least this way you, or even your co workers, or who even is working with you in this problem, or project that they can see what your thought process was, or is and then help you out the rest of the way if needed.

Talk with yourself


Find a few minutes to sit down somewhere quiet and talk to yourself about being stuck. What is preventing you from moving forward? Are you afraid of something? How do you feel about your situation?
I can definitely relate to this one "no doubt about it." LOL!!
Ok this was a habit that I still use today. I actually got this habit from my mother. She would from time to time when I was a kid, of course when she thought she was by herself in a room. But she would actually have a conversation with herself, she wouldn't answer herself. But yet still have a full-blown conversation with herself. And after a while of this going on. I to had picked it up, and let me tell you. This actually had calmed down over situations that had made me mad, angry, sad, disappointed, and etc. And for years, I would say that "I'm my own best friend." Which I still believe today. I had friends and everything, but from time to time I couldn't get a hold of them. So what I would do is console myself for guidance and stuff like that. Yea so getting back to the creative idea here. So if this is your first time doing this. Look at it this way. Your not going crazy or anything, this is like you are talking your friends, co workers at work, or your business partners just making sure that you are making the best decisions for yourself, and so forth. So give it a go. It may seem like your going crazy but you're not. It's worth it, give it a try.

Gather Items

Take a few minutes to gather physical objects, then experiment with ideas involving each item. What if you combined items? What if you took a piece from one item and added it to another item?

I think what anyone should with this idea is to gather any, or everything that proteins to the subject matter of what you're working on. And then mess around with the items and see whatever you can come up with. And see how that works, anything is possible combinations, single ideas, anything that your imagination can come up with try it out.

Camouflage It


What if your problem or project was camouflaged? What could it be camouflaged as and how would that affect possible solutions or outcomes?
First thing, is if this solution or problem is camouflaged. Then it's gonna be invisible for you  to see a solution. Until you come to the problem itself. Then you have to analyze what could be the problem, and then the solution. This is something that could take a while to unravel depending on what it is, and then again finding a solution for this problem. This could take moments, days, or even years to find any kind of solution to this problem whatever it might be. But again you have to hunt for it no matter what is.
