I try to do something mundane that will progress me towards the end goal when I'm stuck. It may be something simple like the writing boilerplate code that needs to be set up, reformatting code, or tidying up code comments. It may not be directly solving your bigger problem, but you are exposing yourself to it in smaller ways while still being productive. Sometimes just getting going on a problem is the hardest part for me.
