I don't know what holds me back from doing it most of the time, maybe physical laziness, but I tend to solve most of my programming problems by putting the damn problem on paper first.
The FSM attempt in my assignment was a real confusing mess that froze my mind, until I turned to pen and paper to sort it out.

That's perfectly fine -- planning should start on paper and pencil, or a large white board or blackboard.
Things get too complex to hold in one's conscient mind. Making notes and spreading things around on the table sure helps; you can focus on a smaller piece and deal with it, then move back and look at the picture, what should come next?
Too big to chew? Take it one Byte at a time. 😉 🍷
@design_RG @freemo Mate I would love having whiteboard walls for my room. My uni's software development lab is not filled with computers, but cubicle dividers made out of whiteboards.
But I'm on a working holiday and not staying at any one place for long, so my A4 pad will have to do.
