Good to hear that this sort of thing isn't restricted to PhD students. I tend to get "sidetracked" alot as well while reading up on the literature. I inevitably stumble on a nice review paper that is only marginally connected to whatever I'm supposed to be doing, leaving me with the feeling that I have a notion of a lot of things but little true understanding. This can get depressing after a while. First of all, happy 4th of July!

I'd probably focus on the first one you listed just because it's the first one on the list. Three hands? I’d probably focus on the first one you listed just because it’s the first one on the list.
