Spinning your wheels?

"When you get stuck, look at everything sideways."

It's an interesting idea for dealing with creative cul-de-sacs, if you can find a way to apply it to what you're doing.

Brian Eno has a ton of these oblique strategies, which are conveniently served up by this random generator.

"Allow an easement (the abandonment of a stricture)."
"Don't be afraid of things because they're easy to do."
"Are there sections? Consider transitions."
"Discover the recipes you are using and abandon them."
"Turn it upside down."
