Coming from an academic field myself... be careful with this one. Depending on your personal habits in academia, you might have to learn the opposite - your code doesn't have to be perfect, it has to work.

Be careful not to end up overthinking the code/design and under-delivering on the timeline. Missing time estimate once in a while is usually OK, missing it consistently and by a lot might become a problem.
