I'll drag out the sewing machine, or grab my gardening gloves, or even (gasp) clean. Focusing my attention on something else lets the creative yarny part of my brain relax. Eventually, my brain says, "OK, I'm ready to go back now." and I have even more inspiration than before. As for great crochet garments that aren't boxy... I love the book Crochet Me. It's got the most beautifully shaped crochet garments that I've ever seen. I particularly like the olive-ish sweater on the front. Good luck!
