I don't have deadlines in my work, so I never experienced writer's block. I get ideas and develop them over time in my head and make notes of them to make space in my head for other ideas to develop.
But if I need to do any bigger project I always find it useful to split it up into as small pieces I can, make a list and focus only at one small piece at the time until it's done.
Also, I try to do other things around the task that I have some kind of procrastination towards, and if we talk about text, then it could be editing the paragraphs, finding great fonts, looking at illustrations, editing the titles and punctuation.
Another idea could also be to go back to the idea that started the writing project, the core motive and start researching that and other publications or just blog articles on this to get inspired.
Finally, if it is for a book that is planned to be published, then it could be a great idea to start researching keywords and niches to promote the book to. Searching on Twitter and other SoMe or Google alert on what people are having issues with ex. according to the text topic.

Hi Helene! We seem to be on a similar path to present the ways to make teaching much more effective for today's students. Mine is focused on teaching the kids about the earliest VISUAL history of New York, something that no teacher or a professor has a clue about. Would you like to exchange reviews?
