There’s a reason that there are pool tables, volleyball courts, and ball pits strewn around Google, and it’s not just because they’re fun. Sometimes getting away from your desk is the best way to get things done… I, for one, have a habit of relocating to the ball pit whenever there’s problem that’s really stumping me.

For me, anything away from computer. Toilet, shower, eating breakfast (today twice) :)

Shower is the top place, followed by just washing hands. Must be something in the water…..

Sofa FTW. For me, it’s perfect for refining or coming up with new game design solutions. Also, shower.

And the perfect time for general thought sorting is when I make sandwiches in the kitchen (and eat them there, too).

coding in dreams is possible :-)
And riding the bus/train works for me too.

A lot of times I am working at my workplace on some problem. I try to solve it but fail.
Then I am going home at the end of the day, and while walking on the car I already think about a good solution to the problem.
Sometimes chaning your physical place also help you change your mindset.
