HUGE +1 on taking breaks! I'm pretty sure plenty of quality breaks are what got me through bootcamp. It was also heavily encouraged - going and taking a walk, grabbing a snack, etc - getting away from the keyboard is often what really helps move that roadblock. One of the biggest soft skills I learned at bootcamp is that in a field like this, it's super important to give yourself permission to take a breather.
