I'm on the verge of setting up a chess timer I can just slap when I feel stuck in a plot crux. If nothing comes to me in 20 minutes, I gotta move on.

Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is:
[Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means]
Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.
