If no "good" solutions come to mind, I try to think of the dumbest, most irresponsible ways I could solve the problem. A silly solution is still a solution. From there, the game is to take that silly solution and work it toward something that's not so silly. It's not easy, but it gives you incremental successes that are vital when struggling with anxiety/paralysis. Also, deliberately looking for bad ideas takes off the pressure to have a good idea. (You may even find that the "bad" idea you were avoiding wasn't actually all that bad in the first place!)
