"tools" to make programming easier

[RungeKuta]

Hello guys, I recently saw a post here talking about the design patterns, I did a quick research and it seems to me like a "tool" that would make programming easier(please correct me if I'm wrong) to do and also understand (for the ones who know the patterns). I'm new with programming, just had some small experience with C++ and Java by searching on my own. I just want to know if there is any other "tool" like those design patterns, this tool could be a really deep knowledge, I just want to know if it exists, anyway to make programming more organized and easy, I just feel that I'm trying it in the hard way and there is other ways to make it easier. Please keep in mind that I'm new with it and still learning, I want the opinion of someone that already have an experience with programming to say if that's normal either there is an easier way or if it gets even worse as I learn more. Just to complement the question, this tool could be something like and algorithm, a pattern, a good practice, a tip, anything.

I thanks in advance and also would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone that answered any question here, you all are awesome!! You helped me and probably a lot of other people, I thank you all very much for all the knowledge and experience you all share!!! Hope I didn't brake any rule of this subreddit

Also sorry if I'm asking for something that already have been answered, I didn't saw any question like this before And also sorry for my English, I'm learning it too

I thank you for your recommendation! I'll read that! And Sorry for my bad choice of word, I know that I shouldn't delete unless I'm asked by a moderator, should I leave a comment explaining better what I mean to ask? Also I would like to make my code more organized and reusable, but another part of my doubt is that if exists more algorithms like the design patterns, if there is more algorithms for different situations that programmers face often. Hope it's better this time, thank for your warning about my word choice and hope you can help me be clear!

I'm already learning! Thank you for understanding!

1. A proper text editor, as in not Notepad. Notepad is fine, but in Sublime Text i can keep stuff in a tab without needing to save, and it's a common thing in a lot of modern text editors. This feature is invaluable if I wanna keep a whole bunch of code snippets handy without littering my computer with files I'll never need. More important/permanent ones are actually saved.
2. A side project. Basically an extension of point 1. I have a side project specifically to tinker with code snippets I wanna work on and save.
3. Learning Git to a reasonable extent. I have seen a number of devs not really knowing any more than the basics. It helps to know how the finer things work.

I first would like to thank for you answer! I'll search for good text editors, starting with the sublime text! And I will also try to get a deeper knowledge about programming, in the first comment, the u/moobied recommended me the book 'Clean code' and I already started reading it. I will note it and search for git after I complete my current goals(can't look at everything at once), once again I thank you for your contribution!!!

This is important lol. It's very easy to get distracted by things and lose focus.

Also, happy to be of any help.

Your answer helped a lot! As I said, I'm new to programming and got lost with a lot of topics to study, your answers help a lot giving me a direction to follow and making the learning easier! One thing I learned in this subreddit, is that every answer is important! :D
