A couple of things I try to remember, when I work on things: (I didn't coin either of these)
"'done' is better than perfect"
It's easy to get caught in a trap of trying to "perfect" something. If it's good enough to call done, you can always improve it later if necessary. You do need to have some clear definitions for what "done" means for you though.
"make it work, make it pretty, make it fast"
This is adjacent to the first saying. I sometimes find myself trying to optimise something prematurely. This is a good reminder to wait until the [unit of work] is "complete" before I try to optimise it.
