Step away from the computer, walk around the house, grab a glass of water, and ask the dog what I should do 😁

Take a few hours sailing. It’s impossible to think about work when sailing; if the winds are strong you have to be alert and totally focused on the task at hand, and if there’s barely any wind you just find yourself drifting away...

A nice bike-ride through the forest! An Espresso afterwards 😉

Well, apart from the usual bathroom breaks, that unfortunately are somewhat outside my control, my normal coffee breaks at 9:30 and 14:00 is always a good way to get some relaxation.

LinkedIn daily puzzles, music, spam my colleagues, go on a walk.

When I am working from home, I usually do the laundry :D 

When I am in the office, I just disturb my collegues and have a talk about the problem.

Go for a run to empty my head and maybe come up with some new ideas.

I take the dog for a walk and get some fresh air :)

If I’m lucky enough to not have a pressing deadline, I’ll sleep on it and try again with a fresh mind the next day!

I have a tendency to “rabbit hole” down into another (usually completely unnecessary) “wonder-if-I-could-do-this-with-FME”-thing and spend hours on that instead of what I really should be focusing on.

Same as ​@carolina_w . Could use a walk or even a coffee-break, but fall in the rabbithole of trying to solve my break with an FME puzzle.

If not that… check the community forum to check if 🦎 is cheating again. 😏

Watching the counts on each connection line in a huge workspace with a lot of features can be very relaxing, especially with a fresh cup of hot chocolate.

Get up from the desk, walk to the kitchen and get a cup of tea....  come back to my desk and fix the problem with the simple solution that came to me while I wasn’t thinking about it, and curse myself that I didn’t take a break sooner!
