God, this. You are not alone!
Not only do I do it in the middle of essays, but I once emailed an essay draft to my tutor with the footnotes still reading “[blah blah blah find out the page no. for this later]” and so on – her Feedback Face was interesting.
The double-asterisk thing is to stop me from leaving my in-text comments in anything other than the first draft – thankfully, a whole series of people will read a working draft before it hits any potential publishers. Someone will hopefully notice if I screw up. :)

I see you are on step 2 of the Feynman Problem-solving Algorithm. :-)
1. Write down the problem.
2. Think very hard.
3. Write down the answer.
