If you're ever stuck on a bug for more than ~15 minutes, type out a precise explanation of the problem as if you're sending it to a team member for help.
Include everything you've thought of and/or tried as well as any additional context you think might be related.
You'll find the issue before you're done typing it all up. In the rare cases you don't find it, make one editing pass and send the email.
Alternatively, describe the problem out loud to nearby pets or plants. It works. Guaranteed.
