Who thinks about perfectionism at work?

Question

Project management

Actually, what is your opinion?
The problem is the following: I constantly worry about minor flaws in the project (for example, "a different design pattern would fit here", but after replacing it with a more suitable design pattern, the impression remains that it might be worth applying a different pattern or returning to the original one after all" Because of this, I often "burn out". Who thinks about this? How to fix it, kill the perfectionist in yourself?

Answer 1

I've killed the perfectionist in myself and now my projects are worse than each other. The main thing is not to overdo it in this matter: if you are worried about the project, it means that you are not indifferent to it and you will do it well.
Ask users of your applications: if they are satisfied with everything, if they even praise you, then you did everything well. And if not, then you're not a perfectionist enough...

Answer 2

In general, you need to know the measure

The measure will tell you the deadline and the price of the work. By principle - any whims for your money. However, it is necessary to build your work and take orders in such a way that you do not have to sculpt at random.

In general, you need to know the measure, if I understand correctly ...

Answer 4

I also faced such a problem as perfectionism, sometimes you implement some function in 1-2 days, and then you try to bring it to perfection for another week (and every day a new idea for improvement / optimization comes up) because of this, the development of the entire application was moving forward So slow.
Now I use a strict statement of tasks, if the task is large, I break it into subtasks. And I set a priority for each task. If a new idea comes to mind, I plan to implement it in the next version of the product.
In short, two principles:
1. Setting goals with prioritization.
2. Application versioning.
