Dollar cost averaging. Need advice

I started investing about six months ago and I’m following a very simple strategy: every month, I invest 20% of my salary into a world ETF.

The problem is psychological rather than technical. I spend way too much time waiting for the “optimal” price before buying. I know rationally that, over the long term, this kind of market timing is more likely to hurt than help. However, I still do it.

For those of you who invest regularly: how do you deal with the urge to wait for a “better” entry point? Any practical tricks or mindset shifts that helped you?
