It's the little things

Heh, I had a Bush song in my head.

You know what's going to trip you up? The little things. Because something gets in your way that is really insignificant, but annoying, and distracts you from what you should be doing. Pretty soon, you've wasted the evening and now have even less time to finish that paper.

Some people set time limits, as in "if I can't fix it in five minutes, I'm done with it," while others try to ignore it. You have to work out what's best for you. I'm horrible at it, so don't ask me.
