Rich Hickey's Hammock Driven Development, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc, is IMO very good for actually not getting stuck in a bad place problem solving.

Ironically it results in getting stuck more than I would have wanted! I guess this is the fourth tip? - Step away from the computer
