But what about the fear that I will die and the bug will never get fixed?

@SpashHit It's a matter of personal discipline, but you shouldn't even think about it: just save and close, done in a split millisecond, and never look back. What will happen is that during your downtime, your subconscious will explore avenues that you want to try the next time you go to your work, and what this "cold turkey" method does is, when you go back to your code, your brain can easily and immediately slip into the exact mindset of where you left off, with the addition of fresh new ideas.

So what if the bug never gets fixed? The question should be "What if you die and your kids grow up resenting you for always being absent?"

@SpashHit - Then you'll be dead and you shouldn't care about the bug. Seriously, you need to get perspective about this.
