The brain needs glucose. If you want to get your head back to normal, try something sweet.

Sugar isn't the only way to get glucose, you also get it from citrus fruits and such. But yeah, I remember one professor recommended eating a candy bar or something while studying to help with something or another. Of course I never really followed his advice as I stuck with Dr. Pepper as I studied.

I also read that going a different route to work/school than the usual routine helps with your creativeness, as the change of scenery refreshes your mind or something along those lines. There was something about writing whatever came to mind for a certain amount of time, but I don't recall the details and such. Whatever it was, I'm pretty sure it's some really good advice.

Citrus fruits can be sweet

[ZephyrStar]

Yeah, I much prefer natural sugar with all the vitamins to the processed/refined/vitaminless sugar of a candy bar. I love me some damn grapes. And yes, it is a very good thing to just unplug and do nothing for a day, be lazy. I'm by no means advocating being a workaholic or in the case of AMVing a hobbyholic? But I find if I come home after work and I feel like ass, if I get some exercise, I feel less like ass and more like maybe doing a couple of hours of something fun. My weekends generally involve laying around for at least a few hours though

Currently... not working any technique on myself to get my inspiration, but when I edited AMVs I listened to music while I drank a Pepsi, that motivated me

Good thread ZS... the truth, I want to edit an AMV but I have no inspiration

Give yourself (or have someone give you) a song that you've been listening to and like, but don't have any solid ideas for. Rip something fast (or take clips you have) and try to finish something sexy in 2 hours.

I can definitely say that the videos of mine that I enjoy the most are my ICs, and more often than not it gives me motivation to work on something bigger.

Plus pretty much everything Chris said. I need to buy myself a whiteboard so I can keep my ideas close by and always visible.

Also, I love Ileia's minibetas :3
