Impose Limitations
Choice is the enemy of creativity. Too many options — focal lengths, locations, subjects, styles — and the photographer becomes a browser rather than a photographer. You look at everything. You commit to nothing.
Self-imposed limitations fix this by removing the browsing problem. When you have only one lens, you are not deciding between focal lengths. When you are restricted to one street, you are not deciding where to go next. The decision has been made. Now you can concentrate on the work.
Depends on the limitation. The point is to fix one variable and remove the decision.
