I need a sign taped to the top tube reading LEAVE HOUSING LONG every time I'm in an eager rush to finish a build. The surest way to guarantee I'll want to play with bar height is to get the cables and tape perfect beforehand. I also keep an old set of longish brake and shifter cables for this express purpose. When everything's copacetic, I swap in the newies. I can't stand seeing even a hint of crimped cable before or after the bolt. I try to never stay on one particularly troublesome task for more than three failed attempts or 30 minutes without taking a quick break. When I return, the issues are often illuminated like moonlight reflected in the falling tide. Or I've just grabbed a beer and a hammer. And I'll gladly trade three correct, purpose-built tools for one ancient, half empty tub of Phil Hand Cleaner.
