be slower
take your time
go deeply and attentively
We are always in a rush
From the earliest age we’re conditioned to DELIVER on time.
Be at school on time.
Do the homework on time.
Pass the test on time.
Be back home on time.
We develop serious scarcity mentality in regards to TIME.
It obviously gets worse as we grow up.
Now you have to be a success on time, get married on time, have children on time, get your house on time, pay off your debt in time… it’s terrible.
No wonder we are so superficial. THERE’S NO FUCKING TIME to dive into something at any meaningful depth.
I tell you to take your time
be very slow
do less but better
don’t rush anything
All this rush is illusionary
There is no rush because there is no race
There is nothing to achieve so you can as well do what you want now — because there is no tomorrow, only more of today
And if all that is left is today — you can as well take your time
The time eludes you because you’re in such a hurry
If you took your time, took time to wake up, sit with your coffee, get a delicious breakfast, slowly eat it, leisurely walk to wherever you’re even going, handle the task one at a time, enjoy every aspect of it…time would slow,
Because your perception of time is a function of your consciousness
Your perception of anything is a function of your consciousness
You can be conscious and alive
Or you can be unconscious and asleep
BE MUCH SLOWER
Again: we are conditioned to rush. We are motivated to rush Don’t.
Take your time if you want to develop anything at a significant level.
You lose the intricacies in your rush towards result
You wonder you’re stuck. You get rewarded, you reward yourself, for producing the same result over time.
Instead you should aim at discovery. Aim at exploration. Aim at what is not yet there. Aim at what intricacies conceal.
Reduce your TO-DO list 3 times. You don’t need all that nonsense. Take your time instead.
You may actually find yourself more efficient once your work’s quality improves. It doesn’t improve when you rush it.
Have a lot of free time.
You need that free time as a buffer. So that no task doesn’t not get accomplished. The world will reward you for accountability more then it will for speed.
Have a lot of free time.
You need that time for your mind to operate freely. To let it fly freely, not bound to no artificial task that you’re urged to complete.
Have a lot of free time.
You need that time to move as slowly as you need to.
There is nothing that can’t be penetrated when you pick the right pace.
Most of us never pick a steady pace.
You pick a pace too fast — then you crash. Your expectations are skewed because you’re so ambitious and because you’re comparing yourself to the success stories — which is basically survivorship bias.
Or else you stop. Once you stopped before the finish — your pace is now rendered 0. You can’t move at a 0 pace. Therefore you get nowhere.
You fail to learn something because you attempted at the concepts too complex too soon. You need to move slow to develop solid foundation of understanding before you move to concepts more demanding.
You fail to progress because you get stuck at a level beyond your competence. There is not a chance you won’t fail because you failed to develop skills required to move on on this level. You would have developed those skills on the lower levels — but that was “too slow” for you.
Be slower
Don’t be slow but be slower
Really just take your time.
Don’t be under this impression that you must perform at a certain pace
Perform at the RIGHT PACE
