When I got Custom Dynamics LEDs for the rear of my bike, I had to run the wires through the fender & back to the tail light. I didn't realize this going in, and I didn't have heat shrink on hand, so I used some wire loom, which isn't waterproof. It was a real bugger getting everything apart & back together.
Of course I knew it was going to get wet and really needed to be put in heat shrink, so I took everything apart and did it again a couple weeks later.
Finally done, satisfied with it. About a month later one of the lights isn't working, so I take a look and find one of the wires came out of place and got rubbed raw by the tire. Crap! So this one was done 2-1/2 times.

I am getting there myself. I like my weekends without any chores or honey -do lists planned. If I do anything anymore, it is on a whim, and I am not in a hurry.

I have done a lot of my work twice. My judge is usually if I go to bed and either have a hard time going to sleep thinking about something I did or have a dream about it I go back and redo it. I think the only job I did once was putting my bored cylinders and new pistons on. I figured if I did something wrong there I'd be just as likely to do it wrong again and there was no real way to check it other than the compression tests.
