One thing I've found incredibly powerful over time is sussing what "Good Enough" looks like in the context of whatever task I'm dealing with. I just can't overstate how much Good Enough is important. It saves you doing extra work, and from doing redundant work, and from getting forever stuck on one thing so you can't move on to the next.
The other thing to mention is that there's a false dichotomy between quantity and quality. Quantity is the only way to get to quality. At elite levels, improvements happen because you change how you do things. But to even get to that point, a lot of quantity work has to happen.
In other words, your gut is telling you that super-optimising is making you better, but it's not.
