It depends on the cause.

I've generally found that reducing stress, taking breaks as needed, getting some exercise, cutting out noise sources, and getting adequate sleep are all helpful for clearing and preventing writer's block. I've found this to be the case whether the block is getting in the way of writing fiction, technical papers, or non-technical academic papers.

Of course, that's not always the case. Sometimes, it's just the "blinking cursor" effect. For that, I've generally found it helpful to just start typing to get my fingers moving, even if it's random characters. I've found that I can keep a decent pace to things once I'm moving. I can always go back and edit out a few lines of random keystrokes.(less)
