IMHO it is very useful to be able to recognize why you are stuck on a thing yourself, too. There are different flavors of stuck - in my comics work, the resistance I feel when I need to sit down and do some serious plotting is different from the resistance I feel when I need to go design some stuff, for instance. The sooner you can recognize exactly what flavor of stuck you are, the sooner you can switch mental gears into dealing with whatever needs to be done before you can progress.
