After stopping working and taking a walk, I try to find another 'frame' to help me understand the dataflow in the situation. Sometimes I think of 'roads with traffic' or 'items on store shelves with a mad shop owner looking for expired goods' or whatever fits the problem. Then I think of solutions as if this was a physical problem. Then ideas get flowing and I can find an angle to tackle the programming. Even if its rough and the solution changes, it still helps get things going to put the problem into another frame and think of it that way.
