    Personally, to overcome writer’s block, I watch shows, series, or even vlogs to gain new ideas. This way you’ll also relax your brain. And then, rest. Talk to people, because sometimes, you’ll also get ideas from what they say. Unwind, going to new places, or exposing yourself to a new environment will also stimulate new ideas. And remember to always take note of any ideas that pops in your head, so if ever you experience writer’s block again, you can just review your notes.

    Frequently, writer’s block is the result of self-criticism or perfectionism. Give yourself the freedom to write freely without judgment or anxiety about getting it perfect. Let yourself make errors and explore various ideas without fear of failure.

    start writing without an objective. Write ideas, thoughts, and fragments without worrying about grammar or meaning. this strategy can generate new ideas and perspectives. it also breaks creative blocks.

    Sometimes, stepping away from your writing and engaging in a different activity can help refresh your mind.

    1. Set Realistic Goals:

      • Break your writing tasks into smaller, manageable goals. This makes the process more achievable and helps you stay focused on completing one step at a time.
    2. Create a Writing Routine:

      • Establish a consistent writing routine. Set aside dedicated time each day or week for writing, and stick to that schedule. Having a routine can train your brain to be more productive during those times.
    3. Eliminate Distractions:

      • Minimize distractions in your workspace. Turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs or apps, and create a quiet environment to help you concentrate on your writing.
