Sometimes I have to write code that I don't fully understand before I sit down to type it in. This happens less often as I've become more experienced, but at such times I find it useful to code on paper in order to scratch out relationships between things, or determine what functions or methods I'll need to accomplish a specific task. Most of the time these days I already know how to code the thing and I just sit down and bang it out.
