I am really struggling with this currently, I have agiled myself into a spiral of never being done. I am wishing I took a more waterfall approach so there was a fixed endpoint. For personal projects in the future I will adopt a more rigid design phase as you don't have designers and managers enforcing deadlines and sanity checking whatever tangents you go off on.

You also have an agile option: release early and often! Use the feedback you get from users/customers to decide what to do next and when to stop. The problem with waterfall approaches to "fixed" endpoints is that at the beginning of a project you know the least. It can be comforting to imagine that you can fix an endpoint up front. But most projects worth doing result in a lot of learning along the way. I have heard of very few projects that did their 1.0 release and were so successful that they just stuck with that release forever.
