Train the creative parts of your brain you otherwise don't use. If you're not an artist, try drawing. If you're not strong with music, come up with your book's theme song. The more you stretch those creative muscles, the stronger your overall creativity.

Sometimes the best thing you can do while brainstorming story ideas is to doodle absentmindedly. Just get a piece of paper and let your mind explore ideas while you draw. It can help open up more of the creative part of the brain while you think.

Put your phone away. Turn off those pesky notifications. Those will be the bane of your writing career. Sure, have it on-hand if you need to. (For example, using the timer function) but the less you glance at it, the more writing you'll get done.

Keep a separate document with lists of all your names. Don't just assume you're going to remember the name of every Character, town, and whatever else you have named in the story. Keep a log somewhere you can refer back to for easy access. It helps!

Don't spend too much time on one big important scene. Give some love to those other scenes you might not care about as much. It's better to have a story where all the scenes are equally polished than most of it being bad except that one big scene.

When you critique your own work, try to balance it with positive and negative observations. This isn't just to help you feel better, but to try and create an unbiased look at what's working and what needs to be improved. It's hard to do, but possible.

If you have to tell your readers 'It gets better in chapter X' then that is a massive red flag. Don't assume your readers will stick out a bad story until your plot gets good. Make your story good from the start, and try to keep that quality throughout.
