I finally got my first Python script to run without errors after 12 attempts

I was stuck for two days trying to write a loop to rename files, and my code kept crashing. I switched from trying to remember everything in my head to writing each step on paper first, and it worked perfectly on the next try. Do you guys make notes before you start coding a new thing?

Wait, you write it all out on paper first? I just start typing and fix it as I go. Doesn't that take way longer?

Fix it as you go" sounds messy though.
