The obstacle. You need to know the exact purpose of everything around you, right? Well why not know what the point of this being there and another actor saying this. You need to justify your obstacles. Determine why they stand in your way. Who is against me? What's against me? Ask yourself these questions on the objects surrounding you and the actors that engage you in dialogue and blocking. Take an example;
1. Character: You are a perfectionist but you are fearful of failure. Now try to set a perfect table.
2. Your Past: Now you have a pampered life surrounded by servants and have never set a table before. Or you come from a slum and have only recently joined the middle class. You aren't certain of th proper plcement of flatware, dushes, glasses and napkins.
3. Time: You only have five minutes in which to do it.
4. The objects: The dishes are elegant and borrowed. Or they are chipped, cheap, don't match, or there aren't enough to go around.
5. Circumstances: Your husban is asleep in the next room. The dinner is a surprise, and you don't want him to hear you.
6. The relationship: The guests are your husband's employers or relatives. They are very fussy and you need to impress them.
7. Place: The room is small, and the table hasn't enough space for the number of settings you regquire,
8. Wheather: There's a heat wave or a cold snap. No airconditioner. Broken furnace.
