I let my background problem solving do most of the work before writing any code. I glance at what I need to do and then mentally walk through what it will take to get it done, then let it marinate for a day or two in my head. I’m usually so over how mundane the implementation actually needs to be that I end up writing a pretty straight forward solution. Get’s done quicker and I don’t waste time staring at a screen making much ado about nothing (an unnecessary solution). Really helps keep things in perspective.
