When pressure builds and creativity wanes, I rely on a few key strategies to stay inspired. Taking short breaks helps me reset my mind—I often step away for a walk or switch tasks to gain a fresh perspective. Collaboration is another powerful tool; bouncing ideas off colleagues sparks new insights and keeps energy levels high. I also carve out time for passion projects, even if it's just for a few minutes daily, as they remind me why I love what I do. Lastly, I try to embrace challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles. A shift in mindset often reignites my creativity.

Read, be curious, talk to a wide range of users/people in order to keep the head and ideas fresh. Lift every rocks and learn the art to asking pertinent questions that keep propelling you forward…. And Never, NEVER EVER, think you know everything! Always welcome the small and the bold ideas. Countless time, it shapes your perspective!

Stepping away! even for a few minutes helps reset the mind and spark new ideas. Brainstorming with others leads to fresh perspectives and renewed energy. Dedicating time to something we love fuels creativity and problem-solving. Finally... A walk outside, switching workspaces, or even playing music can bring unexpected inspiration.

What separates an amateur from a professional? An amateur innovates and creates only when they feel like it. A professional will deliver great output whether they are in the mood or not. This is made possible by relying on experience, keeping a bank of unused ideas, insights, and inspirations, and also knowing and understanding your domain in depth. So when the deadlines are tough, you have what to lean on to climb over the top.

Seek new experiences: explore areas outside your area of expertise, read books from different genres and authors, watch movies and documentaries. Being a good observer is closely linked to the gift of creativity. If you are not in the habit of observing everything around you, do it as an exercise. Observe the details of buildings, the symbols on traffic signs, the characteristics of the people around you. When you are talking to someone, observe their way of speaking, their language, their posture. It is very likely that a creative insight will occur in the middle of some quite random observation.
