There is nothing like getting out for 10mins with your camera for clearing the old noggin’.
I had a pretty nasty programming task today that involved writing and running code with a feedback cycle of over an hour. And could I get it to work?
People recommend owning dogs as a way of getting you to go out and get some fresh air. In lieu of a pooch a DSLR will suffice for me.
We had a quick nip to the local sculpture park. Sometimes I forget how green the dump/town where I live is. Focusing (pardon the pun) on something external and unconnected to my woes, soaking up the sun, taking in the countryside was an excellent tonic.
It still wouldn’t work when I came back to it but at least I no longer had a strong urge to throw my base unit through the window, which is a considerable improvement.
Try it next time you have the urge to damage something, it works.
