21 Questions
Do you need a map or a nap?
Is today a "dip" day where the energy of wings or fleet feet would help?
To push beyond your ennui, try a list of pairs. Ask a question. See what happens when you pair two items.
Just permit free association to take over and don't judge or edit. Go as fast as you can and let your inspiration take you away. Move until you have hit number 21.
Here's a start:
