Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

There’s a lot to be said for slowing down.

The more I slow down, the more I get accomplished.

The more I slow down, the fewer errors I make, resulting in less redoing of the original work.

The more I slow down, the more I notice the little things.

The more I slow down, the more I enjoy life.

On the other hand…

The more I rush, the less I accomplish.

The more I rush, the more errors I make, resulting in more redoing of the original work, plus an added bonus of frustration.

The more I rush, the less I notice the little things.

The more I rush, the less I enjoy life.

A mantra that helped me start to slow down was this saying from the Navy SEALs:

Slow is smooth. Smooth is Fast.
