It sounds like you might be overthinking it a bit Joel. Not that I'm really any more productive with songwriting, but my problem is mainly that I don't spend enough time on it.
When I was at my best last year I just got really good at improv, and then every time I sat down to play guitar I would try to come up with a new riff/lick. I couldn't always come up with other parts to make a whole song, but I did get quite a few out. I just need to get back to that point, and get better at writing lyrics.
