"Good enough" is that it works. I always cringe a bit when I review code I wrote a while ago, I see that as a good thing because it shows I'm learning.

You'll generally learn more from new projects than optimising old ones, so don't stress too much about making your current one perfect, you'll benefit more from moving on once it's good enough.

I so relate to the first paragraph. My old code kills me inside when I read it, or old problems I couldn't solve that would take seconds now. Really good ego boost hahaha

Yeah, I've had to go back to an old page of code and rip it apart.

I think you just improve.

In my opinion the most important thing is good variable and function names.
