How to get over creative block — I've found only 2 remedies, listed below:

If you don’t experience creative block you’re either a genius, or your standards aren’t high enough.

High standards is partly a cause of creative block. You know you could run with any crappy idea, but you choose not to knowing that it could be better. And good for you.

I was constantly bumping into blocks last year. Being stuck at home facing the same projects everyday, it was hard to get fresh eyes and inspiration.

Every time I stopped and waited for an idea (read: did nothing) I got more frustrated and more stuck. A spark would come now and again, but that’s not a reliable process.

When I forced myself to build upon a bad idea, it revealed connections — ‘like, what if I try this? Oh or maybe this!’ — that I wouldn’t have seen if I just sat and waited. And eventually it starts resembling something decent.

The only way to continue being stuck is to wait for inspiration.
Otherwise;

Lower your expectations
Work through the bad one
