During my recent web scouring i came across a great 9 step program. Yes, you guessed it, they cut out 3 of the 12 steps to help me break my addictions! who needs to “admit they have a problem” when designing is just a solution TO a problem! ha! Ok, but really. these 9 steps are for helping designers get out of that designers block that we all dread so much!
Here are a few things you can do when you recognize that you’re in a lull:
1. Take a deep breath, relax and ENJOY it. That’s right – you’ve (probably) earned it, so take a moment to stop and smell the roses. After weeks of being “slammed” it’s good to take a break. Realize you’re slow, ratchet down a gear, let the stress you’ve built up flow out of your body. Assume a more relaxed state of mind and let your “batteries” recharge. Ok, 5 minutes of that should do it. Now move quickly onto number 2.
