The latest punchlist

I've started to build my latest to do list and there are many small items.  These come from all the bits and pieces I ignored when running experiments before the break.  All the little bugs and improvements that you note in the moment are beginning to overwhelm.  I spoke with my supervisor today briefly regarding my work plans in the near future and his comment was to not let these little things become too large of a distraction.  He makes the point that there are always further refinements that can be made, but at some point we need to draw the line.  Moving forward he suggested I give myself a set amount to time for these jobs and once the time is used up, move on.  I like this plan, but I also think I can sneak in a little bit of this work in the future during quiet moments between more important tasks.  For the remainder of this week, I am going to try and tackle as many of these odd jobs as possible, with the plan of jumping onto more significant sized projects from the start of next week.  This will also give me time to further collect my thoughts and organise a work schedule.
