Seriously, that was a funny little video, but I have some real advice for noobs.
Sweep the floor.
That's it. Just sweep the floor. It's mindless task, it has to be done, and it helps keep you from tracking aluminum into the house and onto wifey's carpet.
While you're sweeping the floor, you can ponder what needs to be done next. Sometimes the answer to that question is to have a beer. Sometimes the answer is to go to bed. Sometimes, the answer to whatever you're pondering will pop into your head. Sometimes the only answer is to ping the list for advice.
Regardless, sweeping the floor can prevent many mistakes, keep wifey happy, and produce a few good ideas.
It also makes your friends marvel at how clean your shop is. And I can tell you, even after several airplanes, I still sweep the #*$&@ floor and I've got the cleanest $#(@! shop you'll ever see. I've practically swept the #(*$* paint right off the floor.
