For me, it sometimes depends on why it's not working, and if I know what the reason is. Some things I've tried that have worked:
-Work on another part of the outline -Work on another piece of writing entirely -Do some chores or take a long walk -If it's something where I'm having trouble getting a sense of the action, blocking it out -Ask myself if it's my subconscious trying to tell me the scene doesn't need to be there -Try writing it from another angle -Sleep on it
