Yep, the best thing to do when all goes wrong is to get up and get away from the project for a while. I used to find that when something went wrong, it was like I had blinders on and all I could see was the problem before me and nothing else. I would work at to total frustration, now I finally learned to step away - just step away - and when I come back it is like something changed in the universe and the problem seems to fix itself.
Of course, my favorite thing to do when I step away is to eat something - a behavior I am trying to delete from my programming. On the other hand, when I get in the zone of quilting, I find that I forget to eat.
