I don't use anything of the sort - I just try to keep my mind on the problem, turning it over and inspecting it, and scream "THINK!" whenever my mind begins to wander. If I get tired, I stop thinking and resume another day. After a while the problem ends up solved. Not sure if this approach will work for others.
