Meds + organization to make sure that I'm never "going down a rabbit hole": * Take notes furiously in meetings. Don't try to organize the information as you go. Just get down as much info as you can. Take 10-15 minutes after each meeting to decipher your notes and pull out the key takeaways & action items. * Keep a written debugging log. You see [weird behavior], so you want to check logs? Write the weird behavior down first. See recurring errors in the logs? Write down the error and traceID so you can find it later. Don't assume that you will "just remember" - you can't, and you won't. * Use a whiteboard for planning tasks of any size. Make a rough plan of the commits you'd like to have at the end of the day. If the plan changes, go back and update your whiteboard. Make sure you know why you're doing whatever you're doing.
