I usually use Google Docs, but sometimes opening it up and seeing blank white (or alternately mounds of text from where I left off) is intimidating. I recently jump-started myself on something I was floundering on by switching to pen and paper, so I wholly support this!!

I've tried changing methods too and found that's often helped as well. But when it's not enough, a bigger change, like a writing tool switch, can really be that needed kick.
