Have you guys ever experienced a period of time where you just couldn't think straight, couldn't even solve a problem that you normally could solve?
If yes, what would you do when it happened ? How do you recover from it?
Additionally, what is the reason behind this?

yes, when that happens, I do what your CF handle suggests.
also, I think this would be a consequence of some kind of burnout. taking a rest is a good idea in such cases.

you should take a rest and then just go and read some useful blogs (or just-chilling blogs like this one)
Hmmm, I wonder if it's possible to just continue solving problems until you find yourself back, at the end of the day, it might just be an psychological illusion.
if you cant think straight, think gay
I've never clicked the favourites star button this quickly
Take a short break to relax my mind
If this happens in a contest I just go to the toilet.
Actually, oftentimes I read a task and go straight to the toilet.
The toilet is a magical place concerning creativity and peace of mind.
why not simply participate from toilet?
As soon as I set up my desktop in the toilet it's no toilet anymore but a man cave. It loses its magic.
Also the other household members would complain.
But I love this train of thought!
why not simply participate with something other than a desktop?
I do participate with a phone
I think you are a legend, I really got inspired
Writing down your thoughts on paper can help you think better.
It's so sad for me since I cannnot solve some easy problems recently. As you can see, my rating and rank dropped during some previous contest. I'm also looking for some solutions. :(
I usually wait for divine inspiration, and cry if it doesn't arrive
go for a walk
