I agree with Jared about cutting straight to the chase, & focusing on just 
building things. However, it is rarely an either-or situation, but rather one 
of degree; while trying to build something, I find it useful to make quick 
paper doodles/sketches of the various states, for example. Helps to clear one's 
mind before starting to code.
