The "power of breaks" really resonated. I, too, have learned that sitting at the computer is often the worst way of solving a coding problem.
I go for walks, or a run if I'm in the mood. No music. Just my brain and fresh air. It's about 95% certain that I'll come up with a solution to the problem while walking. Often I have to turn around and head straight back to the desk to start working on the solution. But I try to resist this, as I often come up with clarifications to the solution if I continue walking.
It's like my brain doesn't work properly unless my legs are moving.
