"4. Create a Fake Constraint

Top 10 Motivation Boosters and Procrastination KillersIt's something of a companion piece to the "dash," or perhaps a 300-level class for graduates of Fooling Yourself Into Producing 101. But putting creative constraints on your work or personal projects—500 words, 140 characters, 24 hours, 10 people, three colors—makes you stretch your brain a bit further, and get more creative, than just plodding and plodding until you feel "done." I found particular inspiration in how Beck gives himself and his friends just 24 hours to record entire cover albums. Entrepreneur and blogger Guy Kawasaki stands by the success of presentations that use 30-point fonts, 20 minutes, and just 10 slides (the 10/20/30 rule) for less soul-deadening effect. Whatever fence you set up, you'll likely feel paradoxically more free inside of it. (Original post: 10/20/30)."

Great advice, do this one all the time, massively boosts your creativity. Thought I'd copy and paste it in case people weren't interested in clicking the link because this is a great piece of advice and it took me years to figure this one out - it's so simple but amazingly helpful in boosting your creativity and your work ethic.
