Creative block affects everyone at some point, I get it quite often when working on a new idea, normally I use exercise, relaxing, reading and journalling to get to a better state. How about you?
I usually go out for a run to clear my head, or if some idea is half done, I leave it and come to it after a few days.
Other times I watch a movie and observe other creators or read some blog on the topic I'm struggling with.

I usually go out for a 15-20min walk or go training. Since I'm a writer primarily on LinkedIn I usually go scroll and comment on peoples posts, and through commenting I generate new ideas for my conent.
@clemenszlami Great point. And interestingly, most of the best ideas come when you're not working!
By the way, I'm looking for feedback on AnyGo, a tool used to easily compare the cost of driving and flying between U.S. cities. You can find it on my profile page. Thanks Clemens!

When I feel that creative block, this quote comes to mind. For me, it's a reminder that my creativity comes from a passion or interest in whatever the subject is and that if I sit and start working, the creativity starts to snowball, and the next thing I know several hours have gone by. I was completely in the zone.
Listening to music while working really helps too
Watch inspiration, competitors, other industries to think out of the box.
List all the good ideas you've found.
Try sketching stuff that includes these ideas.
Walking, cooking and woodworking. For me, sometimes creative block is a sign for something entirely different, like the idea might not be that close to my heart.
By doing something completely different, I can also see how much every moment I wanna come back to the project.
