Getting Stuck

Hi everyone!!

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's going through this, but I keep running into creative blocks. Some weeks I'll have my video ideas come to me really fast. Other weeks I just can't think of anything and then I randomly pick something to talk about. Or sometimes I have an idea, but I just don't think I can pull it off... Is there any advice for overcoming these creative blocks? It's honestly been something that keeps bothering me....
 
I've gotten to that with my Pokemon Top List Tuesday videos mainly because I usually do rely on requests for those and they've kinda dried up. I try to be original and not copy other's materials, and I find it REALLY hard to do that when there's so much material out there.
 
Do something you enjoy whenever you get a block. Whether it be singing, drawing, writing, etc it usually allows to smooth out the edges and get the flow back in. This can help with any block, sometimes takes a longer time depending how deep in the block you are. Watching other people who make similar content can help as well, create inspiration but also keep in mind just inspiration not to replicate. :)
 
Look for inspiration in everything around you, sometimes the most random things in my life can lead to an idea for a video
 
Do you have a job or go to school? Inspiration is much easier to find when you're doing other things, it's hard to go looking for ideas.
 
Do you have a notebook?

Something you could do is write down fun stuff that you did, moments that you made your friends, classmates, colleagues or family laugh, dreams etc

You could get a lot of inspiration for videos out of those ideas.
Sometimes you could just start writing down a random situation and expand that idea into something creative :U
