Try something different. Break your routine.
A nice plus about working in a consultancy is that we have experience with numerous subjects of product development. Solutions from a medical project might have great potential in a consumer product. Things like traveling to a new country, picking up a new interest/hobby, spending time with a crowd you might not normally hang with....these are all good ways to expand your thoughts and opinions. Very useful for building your creative mind.

| Image-Line's Harmor Plugin |
I've recently become more and more inspired by interface designs, like those in phone and tablet apps - but more specifically DAW music production software. The hundreds of plugins which can be used in a DAW have many different styles, layouts, colors, themes, etc ... Some of the designs and details are beautiful and very well done. Unique buttons/knobs, slider/tab shapes, color use, font types and sizes, pop up menus - all of these provide inspiration for the work I do.
This is just one example of a recent personal hobby I've gotten into that has opened my eyes to many new visual ideas. Without exposure to these interfaces, my creative thinking wouldn't have the same range of possibilities.
