Speaking from my own experience, it...took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that my first drafts weren't supposed to be final drafts. Like I nodded and read the advice, but I mostly functioned thinking that my first drafts were (basically) final drafts that just needed spellchecking and typos to be caught. I was so excited to be writing and creating that I often posted stuff the same day I finished it, just because I was so excited.
I'm still excited with a lot of my stuff (and frankly! if it doesn't excite me, I don't know why I'm writing it!) but I've become more relaxed about waiting to post, and looking for the structural or thematic revisions that need to be made rather than just going "welp, close enough!"
