Sometimes in the practice room I can confuse having a clear plan with insisting on a particular outcome on a specific timeline. It doesn't always work that way.

Sitting at home all day every day pressuring yourself to create great art is the worst thing you can do. Go out into the world. Go on a hike. Walk to a coffee shop and journal. Go to a concert. Go to an art gallery. Appreciating other kinds of art will inspire your own art.

The key to having good ideas is having lots of ideas.
So if it feels like you don't have many good ideas get a bunch that are just fine and a bunch that are terrible.
Do that long enough and you will get some good ideas guaranteed.

Many people like to brag about getting work done early in the morning but that is no more noble than getting things done later in the day.
The key is finding your own personal creative rhythm and doing your work when you are most productive, regardless of the time of day.

Charles Villarrubia trying to put into words what it was like to experience the Empire Brass in person:
"You try to put that sound into words and you can't really hear it on recordings. You have to bear witness to being in front of that group when it bumped you in the chest."

“When you feel like you’re not productive, it’s not necessarily because you’re lazy or because you have bad habits, it’s because you’re not working on the right projects and you haven’t found the ones that are intrinsically motivating and meaningful to you.” @AdamMGrant
