After working several hours on a track it's easy to lose your excitement and sight on it. It gets hard to finish it, especially the arrangement.

Another thing is that you are always somewhat biased when judiging your own productions. It's easy to believe your own track sounds better (or worse) than it would, if it you listened to it as someone else's track. It might take up to a year after I hear what my track 'really' sounds like. Often I'll never hear it.

How do you overcome these kind of obstacles and keep your good judgement? Are there some methods or tips, or is good self-judgement just something that some us have and some don't?
