This used to be such a huge issue for me. I would decide a daily quota of pages and keep a Guilt Chart to log actual pages.
I'm not sure what changed. Nowadays I feel such urgency to get stuff written. I also cut myself a lot more slack and self-permission to skip days leads to fewer skipped days.
Writer's block is all in my head so in principle I can escape it by staying out of my head. And that's a goal of ever-increasing importance to me. Staying out of my head. As I've heard said, that's a dangerous neighborhood.
