Because I always keep the big picture in mind, I work at a constant, comfortable pace.
I resist the temptation to be like the driver who zips in and out of traffic, endangering others, wasting gas, and taxing his brakes, only to arrive at his destination a mere minute or two ahead of those who cruised comfortably along behind him.
What I learned in physics class holds true in less tangible areas of my life: changing speed or direction uses up energy.
When I find a course I am content with, I proceed along at a constant pace so I can utilize my energy to its optimal potential.
I resist the urge to dart off full-speed.
I pay attention to my limits and create a routine I know I can follow, tuning in to my own needs for rest and refreshment.
In doing so, I avoid energy loss and eventual burn out.
I am far more productive in the long run for having had realistic expectations of my own capabilities from the start.
I let go of the desire to impress others with my skills or speed.
I keep my eye on my goal, set a pace I am confident I can maintain, then I begin.
I know I will have the time and energy to accomplish what I set out to do by consistently moving forward.
How are you becoming focused on your goal and not more concerned with speed?
In what areas of your life can you slow down to maximize your own productivity in the long run?
