Great advise there! I can't tell tell you how many times this has happened to me - the most recent incident being last Thursday. :)

After messing with an issue for about 45 minutes, I closed my laptop and left the office. Went out for a walk, stopped and ate lunch, then came back to the office and fixed the issue in about 10 minutes. It's amazing what taking a break and stepping away from a problem for a few minutes can do for your thought processes (and stress levels!).

Thanks :)
And yeah, it's important for the brain to put all the hard work it did in line.
