Funny you should post about this considering that we are probably all having this problem right now!

I often get to the point in my block where I have to just step away from the project. Typically by that time, I have tried all the ideas that were waiting to get down on paper, and I have to "throw the baby out with the bath water" as Marie Thomas would say! Going through that helps to clear my head for a better idea to come along. Still I acknowledge that maybe that isn't the most effective way.

I wrote about this not too long ago in my blog and I actually use an app called Unstuck to just guide me through the process of identifying what is keeping me from moving forward. I have to admit, its eye catching, and helpful too.
