Absolutely do not try to solve every problem you can think of before you really have to.
This ties in with the whole test-driven development thing. The test defines the task you need to do, and you only do that task.
If there is a problem that comes up in the project or a bug, then you write a test for that bug, and you write code that solves just that test.
