“Write down the problem” is hugely underrated as part of the algorithm. In my experience, at least when doing research, if you can precisely and rigorously define the problem you actually need to solve you’re probably halfway to a solution. I’ve been working on robot control using physics-based computing devices for about a year. Not yet able to write down the problem clearly enough to attempt a solution.
