In Hungary we have the obligation of a 10minutes break by law. Since I've started to take 5minutes of break every hour, whatever I was doing, but really. I was in full blast "code" mode, in the flow, or whatever you want to call it, I just paused. No matter what. Even if you enjoying what you do. Just stop! In the middle of a "coding block", or a smaller feature I was implementing, I just paused. Than just really tried not to think about anything at all, for those 5minutes. This mind exercise really helped me with my daily problem solving ability. I feel like the longer I am doing this, the better it gets over time. Its amazing.
