I second the idea to draw out in a simplified flow chart like visio or excel boxes or graph paper. Nothing fancy, no ISO standard schematic, just journal sketches. The context being not the entire system design but for a single call what is the flow. That helps me in the weeds and out of the editor thinking. Also it may be 2h to do it for a simple case but I’ve found spending that drafting time helps think about the problem in entirety and saves time in the editor.
