Having a real notebook open next to the keyboard. It allows me to work out problems with more ease without having to use the computer itself. As I write this, the notebook has a specific problem I'm working out. Every few minutes I look at it, make notes, and keep browsing. In less than half an hour I can break it down with ease. Without feeling guilty for browsing the web, and without being less productive. Either way, I was going to spend a lot of time solving the problem. When I can get my mind off it, the solutions come by quicker. Then its just back to gedit or vim (or *emacs if Lisp), and the code just flows. That's how I've shipped around 6 MVPs last year without much drama. Try it out.
