I've been working for years on a good set metacognitive debugging questions. The most useful ones typically have to do with physical and emotional self-awareness and task prioritization.
I notice I'll get stuck in all kinds of mental loops which are not particularly useful, but always indicative of something I should consciously review. I actually have a personal Slack workspace I use as a hybrid between a journal/log and a conversation with myself. This technique has helped me achieve record levels of consistency, productivity and motivation.
From the article:
"Sometimes, when I want to find someone to discuss, I need to wait. Several times, when I encounter a bug and I want to ask for help, I write down all the details about the code, the environment, and how I have attempted to solve the bug. After I paste my bug report in the Gaiwan’s communication channel and take a 15 minutes break, the magical thing just happens: the muse comes to my mind. I solve it quickly and edit the message that I have already posted. The Rubber Duck Method really works!"
+1 to that!
