I stopped whiteboarding for 3 weeks and my logic got clearer in Maine

I was stuck on a nested loop problem for 2 days, kept drawing boxes and arrows and making it worse. A friend in Portland told me to just type out the steps in plain English first, line by line, no code at all. That simple list made the whole thing click, and I finished the exercise in under an hour. Has anyone else found that writing fake pseudocode beats planning on a board, or am I overthinking this?
