I just found this very well written and interesting blog post titled "Holding a program in one's head". To summarize in short the post is based on the following topics:
- Avoid distraction.
- Work in long stretches.
- Use succinct languages.
- Keep rewriting your program.
- Write re-readable code.
- Work in small groups.
- Don't have multiple people editing the same piece of code.
- Start small.
The post explains much better what the eight points above mean and I suggest you go and read it now.
