Photographers block - DP Mag to the rescue

Still not got over this particular ailment yet but getting there

Reading this months DP mag though and they have a superb idea, basically it's three sections:

Themes & Subjects
Lens/Focal Length
Time Of Day/Lighting

All with their respective selections broken down into a cut up card, you then pick one from each pile and go off shooting

The little sheet can be downloaded from http://www.dpmag.co.uk/pic

Might not appeal to all but I for one think it's a damn fine idea
