A notepad and a pen to log my messups. Writing them seems to register better for me. A POC/Sandbox to play with in ways I don't need to worry. Getting some hands on functioning code that I can break and see why it broke, so a good debugging configuration. Documentation - During the 'calm' times I will go through the documentation and try to appreciate where the creator is coming from. After all that, when I feel confident-ish. I will create another project using that particular library/methodology/advice etc and see how to improve for my needs. This may not be the best/most optimized method but it works for me almost by osmosis!
