You need your mind looking into new directions to get creative problems to solve. You can systematically do this with a list of words primarily adjectives, "what if?" Create scenarios. You start with the question "What is if it was..." and then add a Word from the list. "It" in the question thats the problem you are trying to solve, or the solution or the situation that now exists.
Use "What If" to solution issues an example helps to explain the process. Your House too full is that because you run your business from it. From questions "what if it was..." and insert the word list, "less." The House is already too small, but could be smaller business? The word "shared" might give you the idea to keep the business in a part of the House.
Most of the words on the list will not help, so you can quickly through the irrelevant, going. Not automatically released though, without regard for a few seconds. "What is if it was hopeless?" like like a useless question can or it you realize that you can no longer keep the business in the House.
Like most problem solving techniques it is important, so that ideas flow without judging you first. Stifle the creative process. Evaluate your ideas later when you are finished with this part.
You can create your own list of words the problem solving word list. Use adjectives, descriptive phrases and words that can change your perspective. This could include: what is if it was... bigger, smaller, the long way closer, earlier, later, simpler, more difficult, later, rich, short, black, certain fat, hopelessly, newer, boring, casual, racked, cheaper, common, shared, more interesting, extravagant, subtle or fun?
