Jaxen's suggestions mostly work for me. Plus taking a walk, like Aria said - I brainstorm a lot when walking my dog. The other thing I'd say is that sometimes the motivation is just not there, in which case you shouldn't be afraid to just pack up and go do something else for a while. The "muse" will come back. Sometimes you just need a break.
