I'm a mood reader, and I am also a mood writer: I can never just work on one project. If I can't get in the right headspace for a book, I'll have something else to turn to, and that shift in tone and genre can sometimes help shake me out of it.

If I don't have the motivation to write at all, I'll read instead. Reading typically helps me get "unstuck" because I get inspired by another author's writing style or some clever way they wove their narrative.

If we're talking "can't write anything, don't want to read anything," I'll just let the book marinate in my head for awhile. I have one WIP that I knew I wasn't ready to write, so I spent an entire month just thinking about it. When inspiration struck, I'd jot it down in a catch-all doc I created so I wouldn't lose anything I could use later. When I'm ready to write that one, I'll have accumulated months' worth of character and world building that might come in handy.(less)
