working method?

[Phil Davis]

Hi Charles,

I use Sarah's Golden Rule and Richard's libraries concept as much as 
possible. In one project I'm using a few giant script repository stacks 
for everything that can be abstracted - actually they're just 
super-sized libraries.

Also, I find my focus improves when I do some pre-planning... not the 
funeral arrangements kind, but the flowcharts kind with paper and 
pencil. I depict a process or system on paper with as non-computerish, 
action-oriented labels and terms as possible, then desk-check my system 
on paper to see if I covered everything, and then use the flowchart as a 
roadmap in development of handlers and objects.

Regarding your question, this kind of project planning may result in 
insight that helps you organize your code in a way that will be 
intuitively obvious to you, so you'll just "know" where to look for 
such-and-such kind of handler.
