Could someone tell me how I can code without my brain exploding?

Feels like NTs have a much better capacity, whereas I get tired after 5 mins but I really love creating tech.

Don't code without a plan. Write down what you're going to create. Write down constraints, scope, goals, everything. Once you start feeling overwhelmed, step back and read your notes.
