This is why I write down the questions I'm trying to answer in a text doc, e.g:

Where is this network call comming from? ../some-api-call.js Why do you think it's causing a 403?

I am authenticating correctly
the object seems to exist in s3
the bucket name is wrong

Etc. So if I lose my thought (all the time), I know exactly what and why I was doing it. Also stops you from re-investigating things you forget

I often take notes in the form of "TODO" comments, as I work through a problem. Then I have my editor set up to highlight them, and my git asks me if I'm sure I want to commit them. Works pretty well with keeping my thought process straight
