World Building vs. Plot Weaving

This is a very interesting problem, indeed. I, too, suffer greatly from it, although in a slightly different fashion. I have not actually tried my hand at creating any world except a fantasy one from scratch, but I have tried to "expand" on existing worlds (including real world) in various ways.

I had no trouble coming up with the universe and setting for my original world, meaning laws of nature, nations, cultures, that sort of thing, and I had no trouble coming up with important characters and story lines for them. What I find myself practically unable to do, however, is tying everything into a comprehensive timeline. I have key characters and key events, both related and unrelated to said characters, and I have the chronological order of said events. But I can't seem to place them in the timeline, however, and create proper connections where needed.

And yeah, I know it sounds strange.

They say ignorance is bliss. Your life must be an endless ecstasy.
