Why slowing down can actually make you MUCH faster

Wait… what!? No, you read that right. Slowing down can actually make you much faster. The world will live in can be incredibly fast paced and when we are busy and have a lot to do, we often feel like we are crashing through life from one thing to the next. We feel as if we need to speed through everything we do just to keep up with it all. But, no matter how fast we try to go, we feel like we fall further and further behind. Into this mess I have the following advice — slow down. Here are 6 reasons why slowing down can actually make you MUCH faster.

1. Time to consider the best approach

Throughout all of military history it is a well known fact that all off the best Generals, as soon as they realise that have been outflanked, or ambushed in a surprise attack just yell “CHAAARGE!!!” to their troops without a moments hesitation.

That’s NOT a well known fact as it is complete rubbish.

Such an approach is the response of panic and is almost undoubtedly bad. The best Generals would pause and take a moment to consider their position, the position of the enemy, the relative strengths of the forces and the terrain. Then they would come up with a response strategy.
