I usually do g;, jump back to the last changed position.

Note that, g; will go to the last position in change list, that is, no matter your change was done in insert or normal mode, once it was in your change list, g; is gonna bring you there.

You can keep pressing g; to navigate your change list.

g, is for opposite direction.

gi - Insert text in the same position as where Insert mode was stopped last time in the current buffer.

`^ or '^ - Jump to the position where the cursor was the last time when Insert mode was stopped.

`. or '. - Jump to the position where the last change was made.
