I'm not a programmer but a sysadmin, and being able to work from home has multiple benefits. When I get stuck on something, I like to jump in a shower just to decompress and honestly it sometimes help to gain a different perspective.

Otherwise I like to just get up for a couple of minutes to make a coffee, or take the dog for a walk for maybe 10 minutes around the block and breathe some fresh air.

i do the same. If I get stuck on something best thing to do is get away. Shower, walk, food shopping, etc... just get away from the problem and destress so you can tackle it with a fresh perspective
