If I have other things on my mind, I force myself to write two sentences before getting up from the computer/writing desk/typewriter. At least half the time, two sentences is enough to get me into some sort of rhythm.

Also, I do a variation of the 10/2/5 rule (work/write 10 minutes, do something anything else for two, repeat 5 times to total an hour, take a bio or other break). Mine's 12/3/4 -- same concept, just adjusted to the fact that I take a minute or two to "reset" sometimes when changing tasks. It really does help.
