I'm extremely detailed when designing user interfaces in order to be pixel perfect. On the surface this seems like a good quality to have, however, I find my self wasting hours on the smallest, most minute details. I also have a hard time making decisions about the layout that are quite arbitrary (meaning either decision results in an acceptable design).

How do you handle these tiny details and decisions? Is this a common problem for designers, or am I simply too indecisive?

Thanks guys.
