Take a break, walk in the sun for 30 minutes and then head back to work with a new attitude. No sun! I go to a kick boxing class and work out my frustrations punching and kicking air.

Actually makes sense. Need to stock up! Dean - AC/DC brings back memories of college dorm parties! The kind that got everyone in trouble! Know what you mean about the Red Bull effect, though. For me, it's comedy. I love to reward myself with a few minutes of old Steve Martin, George Carlin or Stephen Wright stand-up clips. Not only do I love to laugh, but laughing is therapeutic and gets my creative juices flowing again. Lisa – I had no idea about gum and increased focus. Actually makes sense. Need to stock up!
