I’ve also found that cleaning, running, cycling, heavy drinking, and playing ultra-violent video games usually helps me. Usually some combination of all of the above gets me over the hump.
Writing a rant helps. A quick blast up the street on the ol’ motorcycle does, too. And before bed, about 500 ml of a good red wine.
