Due to the rather slow processor and small screen on my 12" PowerBook, I don't use Dashboard as often, and with as many Widgets, as I probably would on a faster machine with more screen real-estate.
However, there is one Widget that I find so amazingly cool and so out-of-the-ordinary, that I use it almost anytime I launch Dashboard: the Oblique Strategies Widget (http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/reference/oblique.html) .
It's hard to describe what it is; I'd call it the premier tool to get out of a creative block. The (unofficial?) "Oblique Strategies" website (http://www.rtqe.net/ObliqueStrategies/OSintro.html) has more information.
