No worries.
JJ tends to fit modern software engineering a bit better than git, I've found. Here's sort of an example of what I do when I'm working with it
I'll open an empty change on top of the main branch, not really sure about where this feature is going to go but knowing that it needs to be new changes. Usually this is already done for me automatically because my main synced with the remote, and therefore is an immutable commit. As I'm writing code I'm not really concerned with how I'm going to commit it to the graph, it's just a big pile of things all changing at the same time. Maybe I do features that are unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the actual story I'm working on.
If I get interrupted, I might go over to JJ and describe my changes, typically something along the lines of work in progress with a list of what still needs to be done and what I've been trying to do, basically a capture of my state of mind at the time. I'll then create a new change on top of that, for when I can come back later.
Once I'm finished with all of the story and it's working to my satisfaction, I probably have a big ball of changes that need to be split up and organized properly. First thing I do is look at what changes are necessary for this story, which are dependence for it, and which are just things I did because it was convenient to do them at the time. I'll split the dependencies out first putting them into their own changes. Then I'll make the actual story related changes, and then I'll make the ones that are just one offs. With a little bit of rebasing, I now will typically have three or four different bookmarks, which is the JJ analog of branches, some in parallel and some dependent on each other, that I can push up to my remote repository and open up pull requests.
I made a couple shell scripts to handle some common things, like recursively splitting a change into parts, but you don't really need them, as they're just wrappers around built in JJ stuff or adaptations to some of my workflows. I touch on them in a blog post that's mostly about JJ: https://pdx.su/blog/2025-08-13-the-quiet-software-tooling-re...
