"get up and take a walk" is very common advice when stuck on a programming problem. It's interesting to see tie-ins like this.

I walk on a regular basis, my math abilities are still poor shit.

I walk to think about problems. Change of environment definitely helps creative thought.

Don't have to walk. Just get your mind off it with something time consuming and come back to the idea fresh.

That's one of the reasons why I play sport regularly.

I do a similar thing, except with swimming usually.
