I'd agree the most with walking, always works for me when my head seems empty. Great post, thanks for sharing. I’d agree the most with walking, always works for me when my head seems empty.

I am a professor, and I routinely talk to students at the end of the semester who didn't get the grade they wanted because they didn't ask for help--in many cases, these students didn't even know when office hours WERE (even though they are posted on the main page of the course website). I stress to students that they should come to office hours for help, and even offer to meet with students outside of office hours if they have a schedule conflict. Many students do not realize that admitting to the TA or professor that they don't understand something from class will help them, not hurt them.
