So, what are some good ways to fixing my damn slinky from tangled bent metal to "slinky, slinky, everyone loves a slinky" or as a friend put it to me, untying the tiny 1000 times knotted string of ideas in my head?

I've heard meditation, psychotropic drugs (which I would never suggest or do), running, drinking (alcohol, tea, warm milk, etc...), other...unsavory...physical activities and other senseless, meaningless ramblings of helpful people being unhelpful. I'm stuck and need ideas.

What works for you people to finally sit down and get the ballpoint rolling or the fingers dancing on the keyboard?
