I write tutorials on my blog at www.lankydan.dev . During the day, I am a Platform Engineer at r3 where I work on Corda, an Open Source DLT/Blockchain Platform.
I think my best ideas to problems I spent a whole day struggling with have always came to me on the commute home. Whether that was the 30 min walk home from university, 5 min walk from my office to my flat or my current 1.30 hour commute from work.
As others here have said and many other people as well, doing something simple and mindless is sooooo helpful to get some ideas to pop up.
On commutes home, I've had to whip out my phone to write down an idea I just came up with, just so I don't forget it when I'm actually at work the next day.
This is what helps me the most. That being said, I agree with most of the other comments here and they also provide good other ways to climb out of a debugging whole!
