Gardening is supposed to be enjoyable.
I find too many folks bring an office or work mentality to the garden. The purpose of a garden in our lives is to enrich our lives, to provide a place of beauty. Perfection has no place in my garden and eaten leaves and the odd weed here and there, and even there again, are just part of the overall reflection of my soul in the garden. I don't have picture perfect soul and my garden reflects this. There is no gotta get it done, gotta make it perfect that makes one iota of sense to me.
