I'm plugging away at my uni project, deadline growing on the horizon, problems a plenty to sort out, and a big messy subject matter that refuses to be neatly sequenced.
You know that stage - where your brain just begins to cloud over and you can't think clearly? Where you can't concentrate or focus on what you're doing?
How do you overcome it?

Fresh air or masturbation.

I used to go sit in the garden and have a cigarette but I've quit so my only real (personal) solution to the problem is gone :( Basically I can't help you.

I'm doing a MSc, so no summer for me :^S
Over the course so far, I've averaged high 60s, which gives me a chance at a distinction. If this project pwns everyones eyes.
The subject I'm working on is actually fair game for good marks too.
Unfortunately, my pages and pages of writing are likely to be as foggy and jumbled as the thoughts in my mind. And at present I can't bear / manage to read over what I've written.
Also, I'm behind schedule and sceptical about my chances of catching up. I have major problems in every area of work I plan to pursue.
And I think my supervisor, who will be both helping me through the project and deciding half my mark, seems to be taking a bit of a dislike to me. It's all over a misunderstanding (isn't it always?) but I tried to see him this afternoon to straigten things out and he'd gone home for the weekend.
So now I have to strike when the iron is quite cold, on monday, when his bad thoughts about my attitude will have grooved a little further in his brain and I'll be a little less fluent with what I planned to say to him.
But most of all, I need to be producing high quality work and quickly, but my brain only wants to produce potentially inappropriate (and thus useless) work, written very unclearly, and is producing it very slowly.
Although the good news is that if I mentally collapse under the pressure in spectacular enough style I might get an extension.
And that feels like a real possibility at the moment.

Speed.
Take a nice long break ... do something that takes your mind off it completely
Flowchart? ;D
I was thinking along the lines of "Mindmap", as we have to call the much more dynamically named "Brainstorms" so as not to offend those with Epilepsy
