You may laugh, but this works so well for me it's scary.
Throw on a James Bond movie (preferably pre-Dalton) and watch it
while you play; by not entirely focusing on what you're playing,
you'll stumble across some interesting melodies, progressions,
sounds, etc., a portion of which you (or at least, in my case) would
never have thought of if you were focusing 100% on what you were
playing.
I've caught myself playing songs I couldn't figure out when I sat
down to learn them. And hey, the theme song is *always* fun to play.
I'd really like to find out what other people do to break their ruts,
considering I've been in a rather severe one for the past few weeks.

P.S. The one downside to the aforementioned method is that in the
weeks leading up to Christmas, I wound up watching all 20 Bond movies
in less than 20 days, without ever intending to.
