True, but for me the real problem is actually identifying that ideal amount of planning for some project.

It's easy in hindsight to say something was over reaching or not enough planning was done, but not always that simple prior to starting a project.

Ideal planning vigor and scope seems super context sensitive to me and even with experience I often feel I get it wrong.

There's no such thing as perfection, only the pursuit of perfection.

Hindsight is a crucial part of making sure you don't make the same mistakes. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make brand new mistakes.
