The Art of Slowing Down

We all want to get things done. We want to check tasks of our to-do list and feel like we've accomplished something. Sometimes, though, that leads us to doing things too quickly. We'll be in such a hurry to get something done, that we'll do it without enjoyment or thought.

You want to read that article that was recommended to you, but you're in such a rush to do it that you don't remember anything that it said. You want to watch that movie everyone is talking about, but you multitask during the film and have no idea what happens. You want to get that workout done, but choose the shortest version and don't actually get any satisfaction from the effort.

We all want to get stuff done, but in some cases, getting something done too fast will just mean that you will need to do it again or ended up doing it for nothing. Figure out what parts of your life are worth doing right and give them the time you need to get them done correctly.
