You ought to be in pictures

There have been times when right in the middle of my day, directly in the middle of a project, when I've become stuck or the idea is stale, I've simply left my home office and gone to see a movie. This is not about putting in a DVD that I have on hand at home, but taking in the whole experience of going to a cinema.

There is something about the act of going to the movies that makes us excited and sparks the imagination. Sci-fi and action movies are the best for me because they require a suspension of reality and a boost in imagination. Movies are an art form, so creatives have a natural link to them. It just might stir something up and get your brain unstuck from the doldrums.

There's also the feeling of playing hookie and skipping work that gets the adrenaline flowing a bit more, too. You'll go back to work feeling really refreshed.
