If I'm stuck on a specific thing, I try to get my mind off of it for a bit. I'll usually take a walk, but anything works as long as it isn't too close to what I'm doing. For example, I do something other than read if I'm taking a break from writing. When I come back, it's much easier to find a more productive train of thought.

I also find it difficult to start a creative endeavour, which I'm trying to address right now. I've started carrying a small camera and notebook, at least when I remember to, and I'm trying to end every week having done at least one creative thing. I'm hoping to make creativity a habit and keep from getting stuck.
