Journaling helps - clears my mind of distractors and gets me focused
Engaging in aesthetic experiences - listening to music, seeing art, architecture, dance, performance, reading etc.

I think by biggest nemesis is simple time management, making the time to actually do something instead of just pressing the refresh key.

Then there's giving myself permission to fail - or to put it more positively, permission to play - though I find, if I use "play" to much, it's easy to be sacrificed to more "important" activities and get bumped in the priority list (see time management above)
