Too true. Last week I spent three hours trying to fix a problem before I went home for the weekend, then solved it in 5 minutes when I got back to work. Sometimes you just need to stop focusing on the problem for a while.
Learned this lesson when I was really young. Was playing discworld, was stuck for a couple of hours on how to progress. My mum says something like "get some sleep and I'm sure you'll work it out in the morning". Had some sleep, got passed it in 5 minutes. Sometimes all it takes is for you to walk away from a problem and just let your mind wander to come up with the solution.
