Think about data structures (types) first. Mostly immutable structures. Then add your functions working on those structures. Not too many.

OMG. This is exactly my experience after trying to write code first for 10+ years. (Yes, I am a terrible [car] driver, and a totally average programmer!)

He wasn't kidding!
And the bit about "immutable structures". I doubted for infinity-number-of-years ("oh, waste of memory/malloc!"). Then suddenly your code needs to be multi-threaded. Now, immutable structures looks genius!
