Daniel Pink recommends three books for creative blocks: Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, which teaches showing up daily and working incrementally; Steven Pressfield's The War of Art, about fighting internal resistance; and David Allen's Getting Things Done, which Pink calls the only productivity manual you need.
If you're trying to get unstuck, read these 3 books. Number 1, Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. This is one of the best books on writing that I've ever read and one of the best books on living that I've ever read. It will teach you that the way to get work done is to take it bird by bird. Show up, do a little, show up the next day, do a little. Number 2, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. This is an incredibly important book for anybody who's in any kind of creative field.

And finally, Getting Things Done. There are a lot of books on productivity. This is the classic. This is the best one. This is the only book you need.
