Go fast, slowly

Slowing down occasionally can make us more effective at what we're doing.

Sometimes, it pays to slow down when you're in a hurry.

Put down the phone, stop sending emails, put the car in park, and breathe.

Not that long of a pause, just enough to ask yourself what you should really be doing - whether preparing for a meeting, going on a walk, or just stopping what you're doing and taking a breath.

Sometimes, speed seems to be the only goal, but slowing down occasionally can make us more effective at what we're doing - or at least less likely to make mistakes along the way.

Do you find yourself stumbling over to go as fast as possible?
