If you try to do something quickly, you will do it poorly. If you try to do something well, you will do it quickly.
This is the Paradox of the Wire. When you’re in a desperate time crunch, you can’t focus on that. You can’t even think about that. You have to go full Zen and focus entirely on quality of execution, because haste makes mistakes. Cut one corner and you’ll collapse the whole thing.
If you’re late, focus on driving well – because one accident or getting pulled over one time will lose you more time than you could possibly gain from speeding. That principle applies to everything – quality is the only road to speed.
