Taking breaks for tea/showers/walks in the fresh air is the one thing with the best chance of helping me solve a problem. Of course, this is only effective after staring at it long enough that when I eventually do take a break, I can't stop thinking about it (and I'm so embedded in the problem that I know enough about it to continue thinking without referring back to it).
