Stay creative after your day job

I ran across a site with an article from Durga Keyser. She is a creativity coach. 11 Tips to surviving a day job with your creativity intact

After reading her points to staying creative, I found it interesting because I wondered how many artist follow a routine. I have full time artists and freelance artist friends who seem to fall on both sides. Does having a schedule heighten an individual’s creativity or suppress it? Most would say it is based on the individual. But I think most would agree many outside stimulus influences their creativity.

What is the best way to go through a creativity block? Force yourself through it or take time off? Is creativity something which needs rest or does it need constant exercise no matter how small it might be?
