I pulled inspiration from a Google action called Creative Coach. It can give users an exercise in photography, drawing, writing or design to support users when they want to get creative. I found this to be simple yet effective. It solves one problem but solves it quite well. 

At the same time, I looked into books and online resources that talk about overcoming creativity block. "Conceptual blockbusting" is a book I referred to heavily for my project. One of the chapters introduces "perceptual blocks" and how they "prevent the problem-solver from clearly perceiving either the problem itself or the information needed to solve the problem." I used some exercises from the book for my bot. 

I also pulled inspiration from an article on UX Planet. The article collects answers from 20 designers for the question: how to get over being creatively blocked.
