As with many things in life, "go touch grass" isn't actually about touching grass.

As with many things in life, though "go touch grass" isn't actually about touching grass, touching grass really is a good thing. (Well, except that it makes me itch all over the area of contact. Still worth it.)
For me it is complementary. While I consciously touch grass, I ground what I am doing with reality.
Is the problem I am stuck coding on really that important? Is there a simpler solution, or is something else more important right now?
At least, that's what works for me, sometimes metaphors are to be also taken literal.
And actually you can combine both. Sitting with your laptop on the grass (in the shade), to get the outside feel, but still work done.
