This is a tried and true way of working on puzzles and other hard problems.

I generally have 2-4 important things in flight, so I find myself doing this a lot when I get stuck.

Just a note that, for chronic procrastinators, having 2 to 4 important things going on is a trigger & they'd rather not complete anything.

I wonder, for such folks, if SoTA LLMs help with procrastination?
