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. -Anjali
