“I routinely write “No hurry, no pause” at the top of my notebooks as a daily reminder.
You can get 95% of the results you want by calmly putting one foot in front of the other.
One former Navy SEAL friend once texted me a principle used in their training: ‘Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.’
Perhaps I’m just getting old, but my definition of luxury has changed over time. Now, it’s not about owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.
No hurry, no pause.”

I’ve heard that principle before. Unless the task at hand is super easy, it is never a bad idea to slow down and assess. It seems like more times than not, that when you rush yourself or you’re feeling external pressure to rush, it is fuel for mistakes. Either corners were cut in planning or in preparation or in understanding or in expectations or in execution. The cost in cutting those corners is typically time, capital, and energy. If you’re cutting corners in training, plan for a possible injury.
