Theory, Practice, Down-Time...

A question to Cocoa developers, seasoned and un-:

When the worries of making connections in IB get you down... when the dismal state of the docs starts to bother you... when something 'just doesn't work', when your code randomly breaks... What do you do? Where do you turn to get away from it all, or to let your subconscious mind work on the problem? This is a little-mentioned programming practice, but one I feel to be quite important.

Personally, if I'm stumped, I compose a message to this very list, and in the typing I can think of solutions- at other times, it's good just to forget about it and listen to some music, take a walk, have a snack. Any responses would be appreciated-- this is, after all, quite on-topic, since it is about the act of development on Cocoa. ^_^ So there.
