That's actually a really good idea! I've never been able to say no when I start to write some code, but I've never tried yes, LATER approach. I will definitely try this for my upcoming project.
The TODO might also be of help, then I have a "list" of things I WANT to do, but later

I agree with you, since everything is kind of new to me right now it REALLY takes a lot of brain power.

Thank you for great advice!

And think that you need to set steps to yourself (and your learning curve).
I mean, if you are not a deep professional on something, how do you manage to know if it's perfect, good or bad?

First center yourself on a "If it works, it's perfect" situation, when you are used to this and get more experience, you'll see your own code from 6 months ago and think "what a shit I coded", which is totally natural, specially on the first 3-4 years of coding so you can refactor it to a newer version with your current knowledge.
