Try the 36 shots technique. Pick a subject and then take 36 shots of it (ie. the same number of exposures as commonly used for film cannisters), trying as many ideas as you can. Vary your position, aperture and whatever else you can. Try some wacky angles. Try paying particular attention to background elements. Taking 36 different shots will probably be quite hard work but the effort is likely to broaden your palette of ideas next time you come to a similar subject.
