I don't think it needs to be as "structural" as you're describing here. Simply "work on something else if you're stuck, come back to it after a day, two days, or longer" has long been one of my secrets to get stuff done.

I once worked somewhere that allowed you to work only on one ticket/task, before you were allowed to move on to another. Completely dumb policy for so many reasons.

The one ticket only is how it is done at my current job (except in support, which is a whole new hell) and I hate how it actively deters me from using my brain (and time) efficiently.

My previous team's Scrum master kept bugging me because I had multiple tickets open most of the time. As if I were a child that could not manage his own tasks. I left as soon ia could.
