Yes, the never-ending feeling that a small amount of more effort could make the result better. Recognize and counter it.
Perfect is the enemy of done
Mentally decide to do it imperfectly or even "badly". Pick the first recipe you see. Buy ingredients of any quality you find. Cook it with the utensils you have - whisk with a fork, knead badly by hand, etc.
Trust yourself that if you aren't pleased with the result, you will make adjustments for next time.
Thanks. I want to try this and accept it if things go wrong. I already realise that in the worst case, we go to a restaurant nearby or order pizza or something.
But somehow my brain wants me to do hours of effort to make it perfect. I should have some kind of training to accept mistakes and imperfect results.
