Thinkering

The problem with tinkering is that you spend too much time reflecting and mucking around with something. You get to know your material and its behaviour very well, but at some point, you begin to forget what you really set out to do.

This is why you should complete a master's thesis in under two years and a doctoral thesis in under five years. Beyond that, it's all rather frustrating because you have gone into a 'look, another nice shineeee piece to add!' mode and have forgotten that you don't need all the nice shineeee pieces and could perhaps save them for another sculpture.

Sigh.
