Designer's Block is the name of a website created to help designers get outside of their own heads when it comes to hitting it against a concrete wall. Although traditionally known as "writer's block" this idea of getting stuck in the middle of a project - personal or professional -- is common for any creative. So it's only natural that someone would create something specifically for designers.
That someone was California-based designer Ryan J Morrison. Designer's Block is a simple site that provides a number of helpful suggestions to get people back on track to creating something, anything. From "create a strict schedule" to "meditate for 20 minutes," these recommendations could be used by just about anyone. In fact, a person doesn't have to be in a creative field to benefit from them.
