I would say the biggest thing that helps me deal with perfectionism in my job is to ask for help once I realize it's blocking me.

Usually the help is very simple, like "help me break down this larger ticket into smaller tasks". It might only take them 15 minutes to do this, and feel like you're wasting everyone's time, but getting past the blocker is more important ultimately.
