Perfectionism is just one tool in your toolbox. It can be favorite and strongest tool, but you also have to know when to put it down. It's not a compromise of your ideals to delay the ideal solution, as long as you are being rational about your reasons for doing it.

It's easier for me to put down perfectionism as long as I have a plan, or can see the plan, that I would use to move from the "good" solution to the "perfect" solution. Then I circle back to that plan when the problem needs more attention.
