Excellent advice. I'd add one more thought for the reviewers side of the equation (peer review specifically). Your objective as a reviewer is to help the authors present their case. Keeping that in mind helps to separate what additional work is essential vs. Nice to have if given unlimited time and resources. Beginning reviewers tend to lean toward the latter.

It takes training and practice to write useful reviews / critiques. Mentors should take the time to do this for their trainees.
