Is there a sticky for project planning?

While thinking of all of the things I've done wrong while rehabbing my garage, only now am I really dissecting my lack of sequential planning. (I currently can't work on anything, as I'm waiting for an inspection tomorrow).

I'm prolly over halfway done with this project, but I want to learn from my mistakes. (i.e. waited too long to decide on doors, which jacked up my siding install, had electrician come before siding was installed (too tired of no power to care), and am about to have my ductless climate control system installed before I have started the interior. (He claims I can throw up one sheet of drywall without getting dinged by the inspector)).

While I do research on GJ, there's so much good info on here, it's pretty overwhelming.

I still have to figure out lighting, ceiling and wall materials, and then floor covering. At least I'll start up and work my way down.

If you are rehabbing why do you have any inspections at all?

Ha! Because I live in an area that has a lot of historic homes. But then again, most of Saint Louis, Missouri is similar. Growing up, the last house we built never got its final inspection. The fam has lived illegally for about 30 years.
