How To Get Un-Stuck When You Get Stuck

This is the thing that stops many people in their tracks, including me.

I am working on a project and get stuck. I can see in my head where I want to be, but the current part of the project is just taking longer then I want.

So that leave 3 options. Change projects, keep plugging ahead or my favorite use leverage. And that is what I did the other day. I was working on some software to do a task for me and I got stuck. After a couple hours I decided to stop working on the problem and pay someone else to fix it.

If I had the time it would have been smart to keep going myself as I will need to make changes in the future. But with my limited time I figured it would be wise to pay someone to fix the part of my code that was causing problems and finish the job.

So when you get stuck, what do you do?
