I laughed at my cousin for using pencil and paper to plan code, now I do it at the kitchen table every night

Three weeks ago my cousin stayed with us in Phoenix and I watched him sketch out a whole to do app in a $2 notebook before typing a single line. I told him it was a waste of time, but then I got stuck on my own project and tried his way, and drawing the boxes first made the bugs way easier to spot. Does anyone else plan on paper, or am I just slow at holding it all in my head?
