This is something that has worked for me.

When you go to sleep or as you are drifting off...
ask for the answers to come to you.
or ask for your "higher self" (insert term that works for you) to bring you ideas.
or state that you are going to go out "there" and bring the answers back.

In other words, you would phrase it in a way that works for you. The above statements are only examples. Don't work with your ego here, but a higher source.

You may find you wake up bursting with ideas, or one or two fantastic ideas that you can take or expand in many directions. The ideas may even come in a day or so later and you will think that your dreamtime isn't working for you, when the ideas simply need time to germinate for your mind to recognize them.

If you do this every night, you may find yourself excited to do this project or it simply get done much easier than you ever anticipated.
