All David...all the TIME!
Sometimes when I want to make a music but I'm not feeling very inspired or I don't really have a direction to travel, I'll just lay down a simple bass line or drum beat, and let that be my starting point for what comes next. Sometimes I even use nature sounds I've recorded. This creates a constraint and suddenly the wide open world of music you're talking about in the OP is reduced significantly. There's lots of other good advice in this thread as well. Did you know we have a sub-forum for music making called 'Musician's Lounge'?
