One thing that has helped me is trying to understand exactly the task I am supposed to work on. Because I read once on HN, that there is nothing worse than implementing wrong solution in the right way! What generally happens is, without understanding the task properly in depth, we try to form a solution and start execution. Then, while execution we continously run into problems, slowing us down and causing frustration.

Another thing that has helped me is searching/asking for help. You see majority of the problems that happen with us, someone or the other has encountered them and tried to solve them. It can be very useful to look at what they have done and see if you can apply it.
