I can see excellent value in this discussion. I had a trigger when I faced a difficult problem. I knew the answer often hides in the facts and would step out to have a smoke to go over those facts in my mind. This exercise has served me many times and the clarity of thought during those moments has allowed me to make progress towards very difficult goals. I still get the trigger today but I know that it was stepping away from it that helped me gain clarity, not the cigarette. So when I'm stuck facing a difficult problem I push away from my desk, or whatever, and sit quietly with a cup of coffee or just walk and the pieces fall into place.
