I hate when I finally have time to draw my own stuff but I'm unable to decide what to draw so I end up drawing nothing. Why do I have to nerf myself like this???

I feel that all the time. If it gets bad I have a little mystical creatures practice book n a coloring book to rummage around with while I'm stumped. Just to get outta my head some til I can decide what to do.
I've started to keep a Miro board where I'll prep tiny briefings. I'm also notorious for not finishing my stuff, so I'll keep screenshots of projects to remember where I left off. When I come back with fresh eyes this often sparks ideas on how to continue especially if I left of being stuck.
Haha, fair enough. Maybe if you make it fun enough. I call it my brain dump board and it's rather colorful and silly, so it actually brings me joy looking at it.
i don't know if you've tried this but i think writing down a list of what you wanna draw and then ordering them might help you know what to draw in advance

You can also collect prompts and put them in a jar to pick from when you aren't sure what to do, or put in study exercises etc.
You can also ask your followers to suggest things, for the jar or for immediate use (depending on how active your replies are)
