Choose another profession.
A designer should be able to come up at least with some more than half decent within a day.

Happens every now and again, I find it happens more so when I haven't designed in a while then try to jump back in.

I find that when my mind is occupied with problems outside work (girls, money, etc.) that I have more days like you are describing. Once I remedy the issues, I get more creative.
I agree with baseline though, start with the basics. Another strategy is to discuss the project with someone who isn't involved. You'd be surprised about the kind of input a non-designer can provide. Take a walk, step back and realize that you don't always have to be amazing, and get the job done. Good luck.

Never happens to me. Never. Must mean that I'm on a different, and much more superior level than you? Don't feel bad though, just keep trying.

Sounds like you need a vacation. Somewhere tropical maybe.
