A saying I see attributed to the US Special Forces, often the Navy SEALs: > [!quote] Slow is smooth, smooth is fast The idea is that if speed is your goal, you shouldn’t actually “try” to move quickly, instead you should move through the necessary steps in the time they take such that you do it right the first time. It’s about maintaining forward momentum without having to stop and fix mistakes. It’s a short-term saying in the spirit of [[Prefer a Long-Term Philosophy]]. **** # More ## Source - https://gm3.medium.com/slow-is-smooth-smooth-is-fast-1c33b37a5960 - https://blog.isostech.com/slow-is-smooth-and-smooth-is-fast-are-you-working-too-fast-how-working-fast-decreases-productivity ## Related
