I don't get drawer's block, but here's an idea.
Take a character you created long ago, and doodle it. update it, I created a universe back in college and still draw the main character. He's the head study in my SB.
Created 13 years prior.

Weekly challenges to keep your mind working - and its quite good to bounce ideas off each other too!
All you could ever wish for and a deadline to keep as well.
If you do really well it's something to add into a portfolio too.

I hear it all the time and always wonder, Is "drawer" a valid term for an artist? Because when I hear "drawer's block", I think:

depends on what you like to do. best way I know how to get out is by taking my subject and doing a thousand different scribbles with it. see whan you think of something to draw, you start putting down alot of ideas because you think about is it worth it or not for all the work you're gonna put into it.
If your just scribbling stuff it doesn't matter.
Like, I want to do character stuff so every couple of pages in my sketchbook I make rows and rows of different poses of wire frame dudes, all ranging from a half an in to 2 inches, and as detailed as I wanna go until I have something I can fully flesh out on another page. it's good to have these pages around because even if you dont like a pose, eventually there will come a day where someone wants yo to draw a certain thing, you wont know how to draw it, and just coincidentally, you might just have a doodle you did long ago to help you.

Studies.
Or spend a day doing stuff outside, hanging with friends, and then go back to the drawing-board
