Do you ever get that feeling?

For the past few weeks I've been noticing how the simplest of things can turn into the biggest of problems and eat away more time than I wanted.

For example, upon reworking my board game pieces, I'd expect it to take a half hour. Instead, all these requirements and sudden guidelines force me to put more time before can submit it for production. In the end, when I DO finish it, I've already eaten up two more hours I could've spent on more important stuff.

My book for ULJA had similar problems upon publishing it. I need to rework some things like margins before I could give a well-refined publishing. And that took me until 4AM to finish.

That's also a reason why I rested from Game Maker. After programming something or adding to the game, issues come up that force me fix. And once I'm done, I go to bed at 2 instead of midnight.

I have a feeling that others have the same problem and an idea as to why this happens. Our bodies just suppress the urge of finishing something we set ourselves to do perfectly, no matter how important it is. I personally have the problem forgetting the stuff forever if I don't do it now.

Doesn't anyone else have this problem? Or have problems that to something this? I'm sure I'm not the perfectionist out there.
