As I revise a manuscript, I find bugs (i.e., things that are not the way they should be). If they can be fixed in less than two minutes, then I immediately correct them. Otherwise, I stack and track via a bug list. My bug list has two contexts: full focus and brain dead.
Brain dead bugs can be fixed with minimal cognitive effort. For example, fixing the axis on a figure.
Full focus bugs require cognitive horsepower. For example, synthesizing previous research.
