What helps you with creative block?

I recently found myself in a creative jam..

It all started a few weeks ago when I started building my own personal website, It was all very exciting! I had a TON of ideas, colours, illustrations, and I started building the base but then.. I was just staring at the front home page and the about me thinking, crap, what do I even write here? I then wasn’t sure on the colours I had chosen as even though they’re bright and vibrant they're terrible for accessibility, I then started questioning the layout.. I had all these ideas swimming in my mind but it was like I couldn’t put them to use, I didn’t know how to begin to write them down, code them, draw them so I put everything down and stepped away.

In that time I’ve done tons of research, reading articles, listened to podcasts, even been working on small coding challenges (see my frontend mentors post 📝). But I feel like I’m now putting off my original project but I just don’t know how to get back into it, where to even begin.

Do you have any tips that help you in these situations? Any apps you use to collect your ideas?
