I use the rule of "Annoyance". When I get annoyed by having to rewrite what already exists, I'll try to make it DRY, or when I have to fix things in multiple places many times.

I outsource a lot of decisions to that feeling, so I can focus on other things.

It's a matter of time anyway when it's really easy to ask ChatGPT to refactor everything into this perfect code.
