I tend to play one guitar for a while. At the moment it's my tele and the 335 has been hanging on the wall for months. I know when I do pick up the gibson again I'll play completely different things.
The HX-FX has made a difference too. I have a very simple set up with it but every now and then change the flavour of overdrive that I'm using. Not radically different but just a slightly different sound seems to perk my ears up and open up new possibilities.
Yes, very much!
@jayjo I bought the book just now, cheers for that.

Learn sax lines. Not too far away from guitar but very useful to steal.
Jam with tracks online that are totalky out out of your comfort zone but learn a scale that fits with it. Different keys are also useful in this. I always had a hard time playing in non guitar friendly keys. This helps.
Change yiur string gauge. Going heavier makes you play different. Slows you down and makes you think more.
Use a guitar for something its not not intended for. Shred on a 335. Metal on a tele. Country on a Strindberg. You get the idea.
I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
That's if I don't already have something in my mind.

The Rolling Stones' modus operandi when preparing to record an album is to record EVERYTHING at the pre-production sessions. If Keef stumbles across a great idea, it is captured for posterity. There is no need to trust to memory. He just has to relearn it a few months later. The idea should also have been recorded at a quality level that, if necessary, could be spliced in to a full-on recording.
