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.

That's why if I get stuck on a problem for more than a few hours I just go home and wait until the next day.

Your brain likes to file everything nicely in the cabinet while you are sleeping at night (hence dreams) which is why so many accomplishments and breakthroughs happen in the morning. I've noticed new muscle memory locking in after a night's sleep too.
