I will do something that has an amount of risk to the project, to keep working on it. "I don't need to glue it, it will hold", "It looks strong enough" Now I am far more apt to do it right the first time. As I have aged, it don't bother me at all to pause..........and take a nap Spare the glue; spoil the job. If anything, I overbuild -- if it's worth engineering it's worth over-engineering. Maybe that came from my years of building software where mistakes were costly. "There is not a piece of software that does not have at least one error and one unnecessary line." By induction, all software can be reduced to one line that doesn't work. Edited June 23, 20196 yr by kmealy

June 28, 20196 yr Over the years I have eliminated "that's good enough" from my vocabulary. From my viewpoint I always do things the vary best I can----never leave something as "that's good enough"
