'Do we need more time or do we need to be more disciplined with the time we have?'
Kerry Johnson
The Paradox of Time: The faster you move, the faster time seems to pass; so the less time you feel you have - the faster you move.
"Slow is smooth, smooth is fast"
This is a term that Navy SEALs use, which you can apply to your life to get more done in less time.
We live in a busy world, so there are many situations when we want to react quickly and rush from one task to the next. But in our efforts to move so quickly, we end up working less effectively.
Although it may feel counter-intuitive, slowing down, pausing between tasks, and considering your approach will not only give you the sense that you have more time (reducing anxiety and stress), but will allow you to get more done and work more effectively.
EXAMPLE:

Now I write down an idea a few days ahead, I let the idea marinate. Then when I sit down to write, I don't start typing, I think about it. I type slower and pause to reflect. Guess what... I get them done much quicker, and I believe they're better!
