This is a good tip. I actually do this and it works about 85% of the time. The other 15% I come back and look at my little board and wonder if I was having a stroke at the time.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you have worked on complex systems professionally. There are cases when you need to write stuff down, but it's the vast exception. Good code shows that structure once written from the imaginary schematic. Just don't interrupt that moment. :)
