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?
Change your place, move around. If you usually work from your room, shift to the lobby, sit in the balcony or the living room instead. Make a working trip to another city. Sometimes that can open new thought channels.
Here are a few strategies I rely on:
- Get inspired by something. If you are a writer, read a good book. If you are a designer, check out new work on Dribble, and so on. It helps set the bar for your projects and feeds you ideas.
- Set a timer and just get to it. Sometimes constraints like a limited time window motivate us (that's why a lot of people can work deeply a few hours before a deadline).
- Break the task down into smaller components - writing a full article or designing an e-book might be intimidating, but if you take it a block or a page at a time, it's way more doable.

Hi @aaronoleary
I go for a walk or for a cup of strong coffee.
