I agree that we get these moments almost daily when the noise and clutter almost kills our brain for a few minutes. I love your mantra, it reminded me of another really true lesson: "Smile. Breath. Go Slow!". Thanks for stopping by :) @Georgia: Excellent thoughts. I agree that we get these moments almost daily when the noise and clutter almost kills our brain for a few minutes.

Just the mere morning routine and commute can create mental blocks that dis-able us from easing into our day or getting the creative charge that sets the pace for the rest of the day. I heard myself say one day while hitting every red light, "If you just slowed down, you would have more time." It was a calming message that resonated so deeply, that when I find myself in that place again, it becomes my mantra!

I have made a few websites a while ago and I can attest your statement that sometimes it takes a while to get that 'good' design. In such cases, I used to take a break and look at different things that have designs and colors in it to get inspiration. Bateman,

For example, I like to make websites and I often have a hard time coming up with an attractive layout for my pages. In this case I find that the only way I can overcome this issue is to keep making more and more layouts without taking a break. It could be that I am just not experienced enough to know what I am looking for, but it seems that the more I do it the better I get. Alcohol also seems to make me much more creative. I'm also a software engineer by day and sometimes I have trouble wrapping my head around a concept or coming up with a creative, reusable way to solve a problem. In this case, like you, I have to put everything on pause. I usually go get a coffee. In every case, though, I am usually listening to music. When I get a mental block I have to start listening to the complete opposite genre of music. I may start the day with DNTEL and I may end it with Killswitch Engage. I find that it wakes me up and forces me to think differently.
