I'm right now learning too that perfectionism is just holding me back!
Stuff, in the beginning, should be not perfect and it should be not perfect. When it is then your goals are to low.
Here is what I do about the project starting and stopping thing:
1) I say to my self it's okay! It's okay to stop this project! It's okay to not work on this anymore.
2) For new projects, I set a deadline! Like: In 2 weeks I will have an MVP ready if now I will not work on that project anymore.
Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!
For me, perfectionism is insecurity in disguise.
