I have a ~routine, where each successive step assumes the previous step didn’t work to overcome the slump. Usually one of these works, but sometimes none of them do!
Try doing the work while standing up.
Get up from my desk. Walk downstairs & go to the toilet, or get a drink, or a snack.
Take a 10 minute break.
Do something else that needs doing (but seems easier/doable in your current state).
Listen to music while attempting to do the task.
Start a pomodoro with someone else.
Go do some exercise/take a walk.
If emotional: try resolving the emotions directly.

Ask for help/advice from a colleague.
Give up for the day, and try again tomorrow.
