handiwork, your creative team that made it happen.

Take Time Off!

Minds need rest. When creative block happens you are either burned out or just plain tired. It’s time to put the laptop away and take a day or even a long weekend off. Forget about work

all together a fresh start will get your mind back to where it was when your ideas were flowing. Just give your mind a

break: it works wonders.

Mix It Up!

Take a break from the ordinary and do tasks you have been putting off that don’t require creativity. Update your LinkedIn

profile, update your personal portfolio or do some administrative tasks you have been putting off for awhile. Give employees different tasks to do for a few days. A web developer might enjoy doing some graphic work or a writer

might learn some new tips about SEO.

it’s toll. Organize work days from home and choose other locations for brainstorming sessions.

Exercise is a great way to beat fatigue both mentally and physically. Sitting at a desk in an office all day can decrease motivation and creativity. Take a walk or an exercise class

during lunch or before your work day.

memes, jokes or Videos, have some laughs and give your mind a rest from the stress of feeling pressured. Being happy

and not stressed will help get those creative juices flowing again.

Listen to the Music!

According to research, music helps get creative juices flow-ing. Play some mellow music in the office for all to enjoy or

take turns choosing the music. If that does not work, throw on your headphones and listen to your music of choice.

Look at Each Project in a New Light

Yes, any job or task can become part of the daily grind. But look at each project differently and imagine how you are engaging an audience or helping a small business owner

keep his dream going. It’s not just a website or a project, it’s a vehicle for someone to get somewhere else. You are making a

difference with what you do and you need to realize and embrace this.

Stay Positive!

It’s easy to get annoyed at client’s who ask for changes over and over again. Take client requests and changes with a

grain of salt. If a client is unreasonable, include colleagues or a manager into the conversation to keep things moving in a positive direction. At the end of a project you don’t want to

have a negative feeling toward your client, even if the project is finished. Negativity can cramp your style and

your creative juices.
