I have this great little book called Creativity Thoughts. It's a series of small thoughts, exercises, and points to ponder on the subject of creativity and inspiration. I read a few pages of it when my brain feels gridlocked. Here's an excerpt from page 210:

"Consider:

Finishing the project EARLY (seriously). Then, spend the extra time reviewing, reworking and making everything better.
+
Striving to create a layout or piece of artwork so beautiful, so far ABOVE the client's expectations that it will blow their mind.
+
Putting in however many hours it takes (regardless of net pay) to create a piece of utter BEAUTY.
+
Making OVERACHIEVEMENT your routine."





(I'll probably post more along these lines in the next several days).
