This is what has been bothering me about the proliferation of cleaning service apps targeted at the tech crowd. I have found cleaning and other menial tasks to be rather meditative. In fact one of the reasons I love working from home is that, when I hit a rut, I can go wash some dishes or vacuum a room. It is a productive way to step away from your problem, while at the same time it is not mentally demanding enough to distract you from your problem.
