Look at everything related to the task at hand that isn't organized in any way. Put it away, either digitally or physically, so your mind can be freed to focus clearly on your project or problem.
This is something that I always have to do when it comes down to writing for the novel. Most of the time I have all these ideas but yet I have made organization changes, along with putting it away so I can later put it in some kind of order so I can keep the story and the ideas flowing. But in general this is a good idea as well, no matter what you're doing in life.
