Hi Vered, I had the same issue of creative block around Day 5, then another crisis of time and effort on Day 12.
They go away, don't worry. You're retraining your brain and eyes to see. Soon, you'll always have your camera with you, you'll see photo ops *everywhere*, and you'll have to limit the amount of photos you take just to reduce the overhead.
That's the normal process, relax, it doesn't stay that way forever.
Also, 365Project.org lives on GMT, so 'today' is always 'tomorrow' somewhere else. Don't feel averse to shooting later in the night. The clock shouldn't rule you, you're looking to find a daily rythm.
Visiting the kitchen - I have found the most interesting shapes and textures, food etc... It has certainly helped me when I get stuck. Do you have a pile of books?
When I find it hard and I always do esp in winter, I take one of the lists, it is always easier. I even keep lists when I don't need them, just in case and just pick one from the list and do it. It gets the juices flowing. Good luck.
Since 365 is about your life, why not take your camera around with you and shoot what represents the main part of your day? Pay some attention to whats around you when you walk to work or whatever - anything interesting catch your eye? Take an image and then google about it.
Walk a different way than you normally do to some place, take a shot of that.. many many things to do especially in your first year
This list http://365project.org/discuss/general/12529/the-ultimate-bucket-list may also be helpful for ideas if you get stuck, but the best advice I can give is to carry a camera at all times (even if it's just a phone camera) so you can include things you spot during the day, or at the end of the day try and think of something that represents your day. There will be days when it's hard but stick with it - it will be well worth it!
Just keep at it, even if it means you shoot your ceiling. You'll get past this and before you know it, you will be seeing shots everywhere you go. I'm not saying that it ever gets "easy," but it definitely becomes more manageable over time and you find yourself having less and less of these moments. Keep going- you got this!!!
I've found sometimes that when I am most stuck for inspiration, I take the photos that get a lot of support, as I am forced to think "outside the box". This was a good example, I was so stuck I got to building a castle of coloured pencils:-
Tweets ahoy!

Hope this works!
Pointed my camera at a light source, tweaked some settings, and had fun.
