Get up, go for a walk
Going for a short walk is my number one stress buster/head clearer. It tends to put things in to perspective (”Imagine that - life goes on out here despite the designer using the wrong shade of gray on the mockup!“).
Walking also offers me a chance to catch up on podcasts. In fact I now fully associate walking around our neighborhood with the voices of Paul Boag, Marcus Lillington, and the two Johns - Oxton and Hicks - plus a few others.
And when Autumn looks like this (see Technicolor-esque pic below) - I’m almost ready to find a way to make walking a full time job! In lieu of that - taking the occasional walk results in better results for my clients and keeps me both sane and healthy.

Walking isn´t just nice. It activates both sides of your brain since you have to cordinate left and right … and that triggers both your analytic and your creative sides of thinking. So keep on walking!
