- Workout - If you run into a problem, fight for it. If you can't figure it out, take a break and go for a walk. - Disengage when it is personal time - Get PLENTY of sleep (cannot stress this enough) and... biggest thing I've learned: - Draw. This helped me a lot. Drawing engages other parts of the brain so if you run into problems, try drawing them out to solve the problem instead of working it out in your head.
