I don't know what this says about me as a person, but god damn, there's nothing like a nice, shiny new (or cool used) piece of GEAR to get me pumped up to make music.

Not having to work.
More basically if above it true, then workflow - there nothing worse than having ideas lost while fekking around with software and hardware to get what you want out of it.
Far worse with software...

This works great, every time. Spend some time reading, or watching, or listening to, something that you think you have absolutely no interest in at all. More of the same=bad.

Wow! What a great thread!
What actually helps my creativity very much is a lot of practice. The better I know my instruments (mainly guitar and sax) and the more I play them the more ideas come to my mind and the better I can implement them.

I agree with above statment. if you don't feel like making music, don't do it.
myself, personally, I give myself a few days between sessions. some evening when I have nothing to do, I will sit down, listen to some music while checking my interents, then pop open ableton and start expirimenting. usually, what ever experiment im working blows up into an intire new song.
there is nothing like producing with good inspiration, and a good beer

stop worrying about what genre you think your music should be
& make your own music...
