I'm lucky enough to have a memory/mind's eye where I can see the problem in my head almost always. I also tend to take time to flush that out in my head before I start coding, attempting to work through issues.

I'd like to think without having that, I'd take the time to put it in a day book.

In interviews, I've typically tried to draw/write out the problem (especially in terms of requirements) to help work through what I'm thinking.
