For large computational projects in theoretical physics, why is it necessary to spend time organizing data structures before pushing the physics calculation forward?
The risk in large calculations often comes not only from the formulas, but also from data organization, interface conventions, and traceability of intermediate results.

Spend one day structuring data, then ten days doing physics; on day eleven, you are still doing physics, not debugging.

How can we quantify actual progress in learning and work, and build a unified metric system that evaluates task quality, time investment, and cognitive cost at the same time? On this basis, how can we identify and assess strategies that achieve optimal results with minimal input, thereby distilling a general scientific methodology for learning and work?
The goal is to make progress visible, compare task-completion strategies, and turn personal experience into a more systematic method.
