"The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them." - Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893), British theologian and classicist

Motivator: Yes, u want 2 get it done as quickly as possible. U also want 2 get it done right. Because getting it wrong & having 2 start over will cause an even bigger delay than taking the time 2 do it right. Focus on what u're doing. Put the worries or excitement about what's coming next out of ur mind. Give ur full attention 2 the task @ hand. Take the time 2 do it right, so u won't have 2 do it again. If u've tried speeding up & it doesn't seem 2 get u anywhere, consider slowing down. Speed is not the only thing that matters. Quality matters. Effectiveness matters. Paying attention matters. If u were having surgery, would u want the surgeon 2 rush through the operation? Respect what u're doing enough 2 give it the time & attention it deserves!
