I've found that one thing that helps a lot is to get an egg timer, set it to fifteen minutes, and then write whatever comes to mind, not going back to "fix" or re-read or anything. If, by the end of those fifteen minutes, you still want to keep going (as in, you're in the middle of a scene you want to finish, for example), you set the timer for another fifteen minutes, and again, don't stop until it goes off. That's worked wonders for me, though I know others haven't had much luck with it.
Not writing on the computer helps me, too, but that's more to do with the fact that I'm easily distracted by shiny things, e-mail arriving, "quickly looking something up" on the internet, etc.
