Well, it's February now, which means back to writing. One thing that putting aside writing for big-picture organizing in late January reminded me, though--it's important to do both, otherwise, I can write and write and write on tangents that aren't contributing to bringing this story together into a coherent narrative, which is the goal here (I think!)
So I am now doing both. So far, it's not gotten me behind in my 300-word a day writing goal, because I have stuff I wrote in late January after reaching the January writing goal I tucked away as part of February's word count. But I can't let my anal INTJ enjoyment of organizing stuff detract me from writing to keep the February word count on track.
