This Is A Great Photo Walks.

You shall bring no other lenses, besides the one you pick

I pick a lens that I feel would fit this particular day, and this  particular photo walk. If it is a beautiful morning with a clear sky,  where I can anticipate a sunrise, I would likely bring a wide angle  lens. If I am out walking with my girlfriend, I might bring a portrait  lens. 

You shall introduce a constraint to boost creativity

This one seems unintuitive, I know, but the more constraints you have,  the more creative you will get. A great first constraint that I always  utilize is that I only bring one lens (see above), and that lens it is  always a prime. But see what happens if you add even more constraints,  such as only shooting in black and white, or only shooting in portrait  orientation. 

You shall honor your gut when it says a photo must be taken

This one is common to hear from street photographers, where the  so-called decisive moment is everything, but I think it applies in all  forms of photography. When your gut feeling says that you have an  opportunity to take a great photo, go for it. Even if your camera is  packed in the bottom of your bag. Even if you feel embarrassed to take a  photo in the situation at hand for whatever reason. Even if you tell  yourself you can come back later and take that photo. 

All in this post are my original work.
