When I encounter this situation I try to remember that someone has probably solved the same (or a very similar) issue before. There are enormous amounts of open source code out there that might give you some inspiration.
Take 5 minutes to sit back and search for inspiration from similar work. Don't blindly copy-paste, but understand how the author solved the problem and you in turn will have some ideas for solving your own.
