Super important subject. The taking a walk is what helps me every time. I've been doing it since I was at uni. 10-15min walk might seem a lot when you are working but in reality it's not. Fresh air, movement, different setting - it does help you think better. You can see the problem from above and realize you've been approaching it all wrong :)
Agreed. Stepping away from the problem in order to think about it differently is so invaluable. And you're right, 10-15 mins is really nothing in hindsight. I think a lot of people feel guilty about stepping away from their desk - as if it means they're not working or slacking off. But a good employer will know that everyone works differently and as long as deadlines are met and with quality work being produced then the process in how we get there should not matter.
