If you have finished and it is good enough, STOP. If you turn that knot a little to make it look perfect, all ***** will break loose.
Personally I (sometimes) view perfection in terms of quantum mechanics. It takes a quantum amount of effort to achieve each of several levels of "good enough." After that, Heisenberg kicks in and we can be "pretty good" but we cannot be "perfect" at the same time. So says the martini.

My Martini says your Martini is very profound. It’s the question I have to answer when doing any kind of art. When to stop.
I remember watching Robert Norman Ross painting on tv. The picture looked great and I thought it was done but no, he would just keep adding schidt.
I like work where the completion is well defined.
