How do you spark creativity?

It's a balance between discipline and serendipity. I have a pretty structured work day, but keep my mornings clear for deep thinking. If inspiration strikes—no matter if it's 7am or midnight—i'll start furiously noting down my ideas. I'm a big believer in routines for consistent output.
