I was organizing my garage in Phoenix and found my old half-finished birdhouse from 2020

I realized I kept stopping because I was trying to carve the perfect details by hand, when my friend just said 'dude, a bird doesn't care about fancy trim'. Has anyone else gotten stuck making something way too complex?

Ever get so focused on the tiny stuff you forget what you're even making? I did that with a workbench. Spent weeks trying to get the joints perfect before I realized it just needed to hold a toolbox. Finishing it felt way better than letting it sit there half done. Your friend is right, sometimes good enough is perfect.

What finally got you to just call it done?
