'Housekeeping' is boring. But it does help make the map 'work'.
Some of the 'errors' are trivial and can reasonably ignored for the most 
part - waterways unconnected, reverse flow...
Looking at the historic graphs depress me, so much to do.

OSMinspector is a little more selective

Anyway as a new comer .. and as others have said - map the stuff of 
interest to you, things like good places to eat, shops, parks.
Don't worry about finding stuff to fix up, you'll make your own errors 
so just fix those as you come to realise them.
