100%. Really, just go do something other than what you've been focusing on, then come back to it. When I was coding, I would go take a walk when I'd get stuck. 9 times out of ten the answer would pop into my head when I'd stepped away. A few times I even dreamed of the answer while sleeping.

The unconscious mind processes what you were doing during REM sleep, so it's really efficient way of getting things done.
