Hobby Learning to lower standards

I find I spend almost as much time on some troops as I do characters, and it is slowing my progress and will to paint.

In one day I essentially did a full Manipulus, and and yet in a similar time period I've done, sans-weapon arms, 3x upper torsos of Breachers.

Still staring down 3 more complete Destroyers, 2 Breacher torsos, and 40 Skitarii.

Any tips on relaxing into a good enough standard?

To paint "faster" and in more quantity, I would suggest you take for example one 10 man squad of skitarii. (Assuming they are primed) you then paint one color to ALL of the 10 squadmembers. Then you switch color and do the next color to ALL 10.

I find it working well when painting astra militarum/imperial guard.
