The joy of photographing in black-and-white is that it opens up more possibilities for your photography. I find that every intricate detail around me becomes something that I can uplift and abstract using the medium. Oftentimes I would get caught up in looking for extravagant scenes and something incredible to photograph. This would lead me to making less pictures at the end of the day.
The goal is to find more opportunity to make more pictures with whatever mundane life is presented to you.
