Having gone down several myself, I can say it's hard. You lose time. You have to accept you've lost time and learn how not to do it in the future.
My advice is to collaborate with people who are much, much smarter than you and have the expectation that things actually get done because they know they could do it. You learn what productivity looks like first, at the most difficult and complex level you're capable of.
That sets the bar.
Everything has to be equal to or beneath that unless your experience tells you you'll be able to do something even greater (possibly) with the right help or inspiration
