Getting stuck is easy. I find it is easy to get stuck trying to make one idea work. Hours fly by, and the idea doesn't seem to be working. If an idea isn't working, move on!
Try another idea.
Try an idea you didn't initially like.
Try to create different genres of the same idea.
Try scrapping all the elements you are trying to cram together to make work and try focusing on one aspect.
Move quickly. If something isn't working, MOVE ON! You can always come back when you are fresher.
If you have a deadline, pull out some old successful stuff and replicate the layout with your new content. Why reinvent the wheel? Chances are, with the new material, no one will even know.
If you try to use as many paths as possible, you won't get stuck on one.
