6. Give yourself a deadline
Let’s not say deadline; rather, go with the word “goal”.

You want to write, but you can’t seem to get those words flowing. Your brain is too cluttered to create new content. It is a terrible feeling and can hold a person back from finishing their work. And that's what we call "Writer's Block".
