I get up and stretch or do a bit of burpees, sometimes I do the dishes or go for a hike or shopping. Something to completely take my mind off the problem. Sometimes I take a nap or just watch a bit of tv. When I come back to the problem its with fresh eyes and that helps a ton. A lot of times i'm stuck because i get fixated on a little piece of the puzzle and don't realize the solution is elsewhere in the program.

If that does't work i start crawling through documentation lol.

Nice I do something similar, just that I've been having a real issue with a problem lately and haven't made much progress. Going to go back to crawling the documentation more in depth I guess. If that doesn't work then I can start crawling under a rock lol.
