how do you fight against the urge to post finished content right away?

having a tier on your patreon where people get to see your stuff the second its complete is a really nice way to satisfy that urge to get it out there. otherwise, having a band of beta readers - family and friends typically - to show stuff off to helps as well.

SHOULD you fight against it?

yes. holding on releasing for a bit is a really good idea. when you finish writing something, you're too close to properly edit it - youll miss typos and grammatical errors, and the high youre on from finishing it will cloud your critical eye. however, getting some eyes on it asap is good - the inverse is true, and if you leave your work in the dark too long, your eye can get too critical.

also, having a few unreleased chapters takes the deadline pressure off, making sure your update schedule stays regular regardless of life mishaps
