I like to make lists when I'm stuck. Make a list of the things you need to do to get to where you want to be. Break the list into smaller and smaller pieces. Keep breaking it down until the first thing is something you can easily do and check off the list.

If I have 100 things to do then I try to do the first 10 and then plan to take a break. Sometimes after the first 10 I'll just keep going and get a lot more done than I thought I could.

Lately I have done a few at home code challenges for companies. They usually take several hours. They are perfectly functional and use minimal code but, the only feedback I receive is: "we're not moving forward". They won't discuss anything with me. The only impression I get is that your company is terrible and I will never respond to your recruiters again.
