Is there a phrase used in programming communities that is similar to writer's block?

In programming, is it more a logic block than a block based on fear, such as "writer's block"?

I think it's more a logic block. When I experience it, sometimes my subconscious helps me unblock it while my body continues to sleep :)

walking away from the problem...sleep, shower, some activity that flushes the mind, is a great way to overcome a block, be it programming or creative.

Fear can be one of the reasons blocks occur.
