Better Ways To Get Inspired

Need some inspiration? Try this...

Read old copies of MAD Magazine (from the late seventies and eighties, preferably).
Watch a documentary about something you know nothing about (try Helvetica or Art & Copy).
Go for a long walk without music (if you must listen to music, try classical or jazz - something very old without vocals).
Start writing. In a notebook. With a pen. Anything. Just start.
Watch a live concert on YouTube featuring an artist who you know is dealing with stuff (try this: The Tragically Hip - Woodstock 1999).
Find your inner peace (check out Headspace).
Go for breakfast with someone who was a friend in high school, that you haven't seen since.
Play with your kids in the park (if you don't have kids of your own, ask to tag along with a friend or family member). Try the slides and the swings. 
Read anything by Seth Godin or Tom Peters.
Wake up an hour earlier to stretch, exercise or journal... or all three (15 minutes each).
Take a course on drawing or photography (try Skillshare).
Subscribe to Austin Kleon's e-newsltter and anything from PSFK. 
Drink a great cup of coffee in the morning... slowly.
