I've become quite philosophical about this lately. My new approach goes
something like:
"If I can't get it to fit the way I want it to look, I must want it to look
wrong."
i.e. let the pieces tell you how they want to be arranged; become a mediator
between the parts and the model. (1) I tend to spend significantly less time
banging my head against the wall this way. The end result is sometimes wildly
different from what I originally wanted, but I'm usually happier with the
finished model.

1. Sure, the pieces talk to me. Don't they talk to you?
