This is such an important topic! I struggle with letting myself get sucked into a project I'm working on for hours on end and never moving more than 20 feet away from my desk. It's easy to try pushing through a code issue until I'm mentally exhausted and have gotten nowhere. It can be hard sometimes, but stepping away and moving my body always results in me feeling energized, refreshed, and ready to return my focus to what I was working on. I usually have a better perspective on what I was trying to do after stepping away for a bit, anyway.
