I don't think it can completely replace "sitting around choosing what to do" since there's a few things I need to sort out, but it sure will help kick me out of the rut I'm currently in.

But you have no solid ideas. So, forget choosing a direction just choose a challenge or competition and pick the tools to get the job done in the allotted time. Ludum Dare might be a good starting point. It sounds like you don't need to sit there choosing what to do, you need something to force you to >do<. So enter a Ludum, the result might turn out to be complete rubbish, but it means you have something completed before the end of the year and that might be the kickstart you need for 2010.
