Pick One Idea and Save Time

As teachers we spend a lot of time looking for ideas. How about this one? Randomly open an activity book of your choice. Point to an idea and make an effort to plan a lesson around it. You can adapt it, use it as is, or chat to another teacher about that specific idea to build up your lesson plan. Instead of finding the usual kind of activity that suits your personality, making an effort to do the above may force you into adapting your methods and producing a different kind of lesson that you don't usually choose.
