One thing that took me a long time to figure out is that I am a very visual thinker.
For example, in math, an equation doesn't mean anything to me until I can represent it graphically in a way that gives me the essence of what the equation means in the particular context that I care about. After that I can learn some rules for manipulating stuff algebraically, but for me the visual intuition always has to come first.
I tend to apply this even for things where maybe there isn't an obvious connection. For example, when it comes to business rules, I tend to think in terms of hierarchical structures like trees, or in terms of graphs - little boxes with arrows between them... Sometimes I also think about connecting things, or rotating them into place, or moving them around in a list...
I've also learned that for me, it's important to always start with a simple scenario and then to gradually extend it bit by bit.
