I am always looking for inspiration. I look to others projects, videos, blogs and anything else I find interesting. Another way I find inspiration is spending time not working on a project, but on small details like gear assemblies and linear actuators. If I build something I like, I set it aside in a small tray that I store out of the way. It's a great way to solve problems when I just can't get a good answer. If I am stuck, I pull out the inspiration box.

What I have shown is just a few I currently have on my building table. At times when I am stuck, I completely pull myself away from a project and work just on inspirations.
