Great you are "afoot" as the Brits would say (or at least Sherlock)!
Down time sucks, but it can be rehabilitating to stand back and look over your work area and get a better perspective of what needs to change or what may make it a more useful space. I know the urge to just dive into another project, but having spent a few days on other work allowed me to rethink many things for the shop in the future.

I've spent the last week going through my vintage stereo and ham equipment piles deciding on what to sell off to clear out space and stop that nagging voice in my head about someday when I'm no longer around and it all gets tossed.
