Alternately, practice talking out loud, as if you were explaining what you were doing and what the problem was, until that feels natural. Generally find some way of externalizing working memory.
Specifically cultivate the trigger of “notice you’re stuck in some way → stop/drop/do-metacognition until you’re no longer stuck.” i.e.
ask yourself why you are stuck. what seems hard about this?
