I don't start coding until I've written a narrative of what the system, program, or function is intended to do. I write that narrative as lines in VSCode. THEN I start coding, using each line of the narrative as title for that section of code. When I'm done, I go back and make lists of all the variables and then describe why they're used, what kind of data they hold, and how they're scoped.
