Time is slowly ticking to the end

It will be October very soon and I have so much to do for the Holidays.  Many Birthdays this time of year too and I have many drawing and paintings requested.  How does one get out of the mental creativity block? I stare at my canvas and then walk  away to read a book lol.  I must also come up with new ideas for Holiday Windows this year as well. I haven't been much of a doodler like I was when I was younger but maybe I need to make myself to get my juices flowing again.
