By getting away from the computer, preferably by kayaking or walking on the beach. Ideas for stories or the next chapter, etc always come to me when I'm not sitting in front of a screen. I use the "Notes" section of my iPhone to "jot" down the idea so I don't forget it later. Also, I keep "Notes" for future story ideas in case I run out.
