I've been going through a bit of a creative drought recently. Most maps that I start I end up not finishing or in some cases flat-out deleting, and I think it's because I'm getting tired of doing the same sorts of things over and over (this applies to my maps as well as my mapping!). I need to try new processes, implement new ideas, but I'm not sure where to start or what to do, exactly. My mapping process used to be "draw out the whole layout, then do everything else". Recently I shifted away from that and went with more of a "detail as you go" approach, which ended up really hurting my output, I think (less overall focus on layout+gameplay), plus it slowed me down a ton. I'd like to hear your approaches to mapping (or creative things in general) and what I could try to vary it up and inject some life into my mapping.
