I had many, many occurrences where I would spend hours in front of my computer without even writing a paragraph. I would toil from the editor to browsing and checking updates to no end it seemed like. This back and forth merry-go-round is a terrible strategy.
The best strategy for me was to completely remove myself from my current position and go for a walk, call a friend, exercise, etc... The mind needs time to dispatch its thoughts elsewhere. The trouble with this strategy is that is difficult to implement because you are forcing yourself to take a break and it feels that this break is just wasting time. It isn't. Take the break.
