>>I find something else to do for a while - a day or two - and let my brain fix the problem in the background. When I get back to it, it's almost as if I had a new pair of eyes. I see it differently and then try a different approach. Also, the principle of Auntie Emma helps - by either trying to explain your problem to a colleague, or trying to document it, you push it through your head in a different way and thus see things you didn't see while you were alone with the problem in your head.

>Often getting up and walking to get a bit of water would allow me to solve a problem. Many software developers I know have a joke about waking up at 2 AM and having the solution to a problem. That is too real for many people. Your suggestions are good and I hope that others follow them.

Yupp - when I was programming 12H per day fenced behind thick steel walls and heavy entry control
getting out of the chair and doing something entirely different to switch tracks was not as easy as in other jobs.
I never got the boxing equipment I asked for - and not enough room to "tiger" around as well.
