Try out what works for you. Here is some things I have tried.

If you feel stuck and having no ideas, take a break and rest. You get more ideas when you are rejuvenated and have no stress. Then start to warm up from easy, do some sketching, try what works for you. Use the back of your sketchbook for lists and ideas. Go out with a friend, draw from life. Take some reference photos. Get a routine to keep you going and to not to let yourself feel rusty. Go back to your medium and do some studies. Write down what you learned and what inspires you. Maybe it's useful too to save your inspirations to favourites or to a folder.

Personally for me it is enough to start warm up sketching routine in the mornings, 30 mins to draw something I see or to study from photos I took. Also journaling and making lists help.
Soon I feel warmed up and can perform normally. I'm not often out of ideas, but feel rusty or overwhelmed.
