1. Writer's block - It doesn't exist. Its just a phrase people came up with to rationalise the fact that they lack the ideas to write, but its attributed mostly to pantsers (people who freewrite their stories instead of basing it on the outline).
Just get any kind of outline. It can be just a few words about the entire arc, major step points within the arc, or every chapter detailed to the point of simply connecting the dots in order to get things done.
I additionally love worldbuilding, so I tend to create open plot threads and just leave them be for the time being. Let's say I finished a part of the story, but it can still go on to a far greater degree... So I just leave some teasers and drop the plot point inside my technical file.
Then do it once or twice more times, before sitting down and figuring out how I can cleaverly connect the lose ends to bring an surprising result. It also helps in making your story more wholesome, as diffrent plots intervine into a single entity.
This also is a continous process, where I connect some plotlines, while opening another.
- Boredom - The point about writing is that you have some excting moments in your story you want to write about, yet there is this enourmous block of stuff you need to do first, in order to get there. Just keep the end goal in mind (first major event you are hyped for) and try to come up with a ways to make it even deeper, more interesting, more surprising.
Even if it will affect your outline, it's just how a creative process works. With the example of Blood Coin (the story I paid the most effort for each chapter so far with the exception of the secret one I'm slowly preparing right now) by the time I came to the major plot twist, just by letting my characters act like I believed they should, the amount of stuff included in the plot twist more than quadrupled.
- Distractions
This is something everyone struggle with, and everyone has to came up with their own ways of overcoming.
For me, listening to music works, and setting a clear and easy to achieve targets. Like, my current chapters are about 1k+ words long, and I'm capable of writing that in 30-40min if I fully focus myself on it. So I just set an aim of writing a single chapter in one go before allowing myself to do anything esle. Depeneding on how it takes me to finish the chapter, I fill the rest of the single hour with relax like watching vids on yt or something. This way I have a stable workspeed of 1h/1kwords/1 chapter.
Also, deadlines help. When you change your attitude into one where you HAVE TO finish 1-2 chapters before daily WN reset, you just have to sit down and write them. Period.
Additionally, I can't recomend enough THIS PLAYLIST:

It's something made by me and a fellow author (Nano) by compiling the trailer music I was listening since ages ago, but I tend to use the spotify right now.
- That's what you have chapter titles. If you are unsure about something, you can always come back to it. As for things like names or system specifics, I tend to have a separate file where I keep all the daily usage data. For example, with my contracted novel, I have a whole doc file 5 pages long with just the describtions and everything listed out and updated as it changes in the story.
I used to post it in author's notes, but as it started including informations that could potentially have spoilers, I'm constantly worrying about making a fresh version for readers, but this is simply too much work to redact it.
So I keep it for myself :D
- While my first side project (battlepope) kinda failed because I realised it wasn't well suited for the WN market, I'm constantly working on a new, fully fledged dark fantasy book while being on the stage of worldbuilding for the new WN novel that might came out in a month or two.
Just keep an information file for each of the stories and make them diffrent enough to not let yourself easily confuse which part belong to which story. In my case, it was a reincarnated fantasy and Strategic Game, one written in first person and one in third. There was no way to mix them up.
