That can help, or just the classic shower insight, but for me I often get even bigger dividends by stepping way away from the computer. I've had absolute avalanches of new insights when I've been away from any sort of computer for days. It feels like the process of loading more "problem" into the working buffer interrupts or even resets these background processes to some degree.

  Works in the tub as well. I believe it's a combination of white noise from the water, lack of windows and screens and hot water feeling relaxing.

  Hmm, for me I think part of it is the certainty that you won’t get interrupted or distracted while sitting or showering.
