Rushing is a thief of time.
Attempting to force speed introduces a "flailing dynamic" in which excessive energy produces counterproductive movement and inevitable rework: slowness. Paradoxically, the quickest way to finish a task is often to abandon the desire for speed entirely and focus instead on removing friction.
True speed is a byproduct of embodiment. By practicing with deliberate attention, we train a precision that eventually becomes unthinking and relaxed.
However, practicing "slowly" is not the goal—the goal is practicing "smoothly." When a process becomes natural, we realize that the clenching and worry of the moment were the only things slowing us down.
