One of the things that works to set aside the "make everything perfect and sensible NOW" mentality is to focus on word count. Find someone who writes at about the pace you do, and try to do better than they do. It's much harder to fret about perfect wording when someone else is ahead of you in word count that you want to be ahead of.

Good luck.

And, remember, it's a first draft. There's lots of time to make it better but it's hard to make something better that hasn't been written.
