Separate your engineering brain from the other aspects of what you are trying to do.

If you are doing UI/UX worry only about what it should look like to be maximally pleasant to use, worry about how later.

If you are doing marketing/sales, worry only about what sells and what gets traction, not about what you want to or think you should be building.

It took me a long time to figure out I was sabotaging myself by thinking about implementation while making other decisions.

Being a dev is just a tool in your toolbox but you aren’t really a software engineer anymore so behave as such.
