Yesterday, I talked about the fact that I need to get into a more set routine. Today, I’m telling you to shake things up.

Maybe I should make up my mind.

Nah, I’d rather share some ways that I shake things up and get my creativity flowing:

  1. Blast music and dance around my living room. yes, I actually do this. My hubby has come home many evenings to find me singing and dancing (and then he’s laughing).
  2. Shut off all technology and hit the beach (one of the definite perks of being in So Cal)
  3. People watch. Pretty much any Starbucks or corner bakery will suffice for great people watching.
  4. Call a friend. Catch up on life and get your mind focused on anything but work.
  5. Design something/write something just for fun. I get tired of writing and designing things I am supposed to. Sometimes I just want to play with photoshop and see what my crazy ideas create. (I’m considering creating a page on my blog dedicated to my random creations…what do you think?)
  6. Spend an hour or so laughing at a few of my favorite nsfw sites (textsfromlastnight, fmylife, awkwardfamilyphotos, notalwaysright, passiveaggressivenotes and failblog
  7. Stumbleupon. Keep clicking, you’ll find something awesome.

How do you shake it up?
