I'm a big fan of going for a walk or finding a park bench to sit and relax. Being outdoors and clearing my mind of any mental blockers can help kickstart the creative process again.

I also think a change of environment can reset our minds. I'll often try a few places - library, coffee shop, etc - until things click.

Yes definitely. Just like what @benhalpern said. Sometimes the change of environment and simply not thinking about can help your imaginations flow. What we sometimes consider as "waste of time" can actually help us be more productive in the long run.
