I don't know what holds me back from doing it most of the time, maybe physical laziness, but I tend to solve most of my programming problems by putting the damn problem on paper first.
The FSM attempt in my assignment was a real confusing mess that froze my mind, until I turned to pen and paper to sort it out.

That's perfectly fine -- planning should start on paper and pencil, or a large white board or blackboard.
Things get too complex to hold in one's conscient mind. Making notes and spreading things around on the table sure helps; you can focus on a smaller piece and deal with it, then move back and look at the picture, what should come next?
Too big to chew? Take it one Byte at a time. 😉 🍷
@design_RG @freemo Mate I would love having whiteboard walls for my room. My uni's software development lab is not filled with computers, but cubicle dividers made out of whiteboards.
But I'm on a working holiday and not staying at any one place for long, so my A4 pad will have to do.
If your into math check out the math section specifically of my blog. There is some fun stuff there IMO.
I particularly enjoyed playing with and explaining the Verhurst equation. Tweaked it a little at the end to model advertising that I used in a commercial application once.
