I'm currently working on a redesign for an agency website. I keep finding myself nitpicking and tweaking everything....I can't stop damnit!
Do you guys ever just say....."awwwww fuck it..that's good enough" ?

Don't look at it for a few days (if you can) and the come back - look at it for 1 minute. If anything looks crap, keep working on it. If not - let it go man, let it go.

good advice, getting too close to something can be fatal.

yeah leave the nitpicking for your personal site....like me, 8 months over due.

I've tried to develop that ability, but for some reason have a bad mix of dissatisfation and procrastination with most of the work I've done on completing a personal site in the past year or so.
It sucks.
I like the idea of stepping away for a few days and then looking at it real quick.

Try 2.5 years on my own site.

You just describe me to a "T"
I get all pumped up on big dreams of what the site will do and look like and how it will get respected, then I get bored from the tedium.

stop when the money is done.

every single fucking day! and it gets worse - if I don't love it, i redo everything. It's like a sickness.
And its a lot harder if its your own stuff you're working on, since you don't have any limitations and guidelines. And despite what everyone says, it's so tough to get yourself in a position when you're doing work for yourself as a client. It probably doesn't make sense, but hey - when do I ever make any sense?

The trick, you see, young bretheren, is to develop a sense of two dimensional feng shui.
Only then can you succesfully live with very little.
