One of the things I like to do is work on a handler in a button. This allows me to test the handler by simply clicking a button, and it's easy to see that you can insert it into the front if it's something that needs to be called by another handler. Downside is of course, if your script needs to reference the object you need it to be in, such as "me" then this won't work for you unless you start by specifically naming the object you intend to reference, and then later replacing all those references with "me".
