Spent 6 hours trying to fix a plot hole in my story about a time loop

I wrote a whole chapter where my main character gets stuck in a 24-hour loop, but then I realized he would have no reason to do the final action that breaks the cycle. I had to scrap three pages and rework his whole motive from the ground up. How do you guys handle making your character's choices feel earned?

Time loops are why I stick to grocery lists.
