I watch the ebb and flow, and eventually get new ideas. Going out a time of day you don't usually is another great way to get another vantage point.

The whole "pretending I'm getting paid" thing doesn't work for me, however, as such thoughts lead to a sense of obligation, which kills my interest in the subject. But that's just me.
