Knowing when to put the mouse and keyboard down is hard.

I made this quite detailed shader, but it only fills a tiny part of the screen... Like maybe the player will see this once or twice max, but the rest of the time this element will only take up 40x40 pixel area ๐Ÿ˜…

What techniques have you found that help to keep you on track and let you understand when it's time to stop?

I do currently keep a list of tasks and organise them daily, but what you said about putting on a different hat made me realise that I've been treating it as a chore to get done as fast as possible, whereas I should respect this stage and allot myself the time to get into the correct headspace. Thank you for the detailed reply and your encouragement!
