Has this ever happened to you?: You have nothing to do, nothing going on except for the day-to-day when you suddenly (or finally, in the case of a freelance developer) get a big project to work on. It is always in that same moment that, for me anyway, every project I have ever been involved with is in desperate need of my attention. Instead of being able to focus the majority of my attention to my new project, I have to spend much of my day working on lots of little things for lots of little projects. It happens this way every time without fail. I fear for the day when I really do get a big project - all of my old clients and projects will surely return like a zombie scourge and trap me to my ultimate demise.
I hereby decree that these projects will henceforth be known as Minutia Zombies.
