Commiserations, I know how frustrating this can be.
When I was stuck on TFS, the novel_in_90 community was very helpful. Making a public commitment and being forced to report on my progress each day appealed to my competitive streak. I started off slow, but by the end I was writing significant chunks almost every day, and managed to meet the deadline with hours to spare :-)
I've also tried completely changing my writing location--deciding that I'm not going to write at home, instead I'm going to write at the coffee shop, or somewhere else, just to completely change my head space.
And finally I've tried peripheral activities instead, for instance telling myself that I'm not writing story today, but I'm going to spend an hour picking character names, or writing world building details, or some other related activity that will hopefully tempt the brain back into thinking about the story, so that maybe the next day when I sit down at the computer I'll feel like moving the narrative forward.
