Here's some advice I've discovered - don't feel guilty about not always being productive. It's normal to happen, and is to be expected with life. You will not always have the creativity or availability you want even though the passion is there.

The best thing to do is not go all out, guns blazing. Just do a little bit of something each day. Got half baked ideas - write 'em down to revise later with a new view. Stuck on the imaginative parts - formulate a bunch of generic and crazy effects for reference on a lazy, uninspiring day. Don't have time - commit just 5 minutes daily. With repetition, it becomes easier to flex your willpower to create and leverage sessions solely focused around writing.

Learn astrophysics. Do sudoku. Read voraciously. Construct a sandcastle. Bake a pizza. Build a robot. Speak French, run a mile, paint your portrait. Do anything new and challenging to stimulate your mind and open yourself up to new ideas.

Stop worrying about the past. Just focus on a better tomorrow!
